During World War II, the British developed several types of bombs, including the notable "Tallboy" and "Grand Slam" bombs, designed by Barnes Wallis. The Tallboy was a 12,000-pound bomb used for penetrating hardened targets, while the Grand Slam, weighing 22,000 pounds, was the largest bomb used in the conflict and aimed at destroying fortified structures. Additionally, the British also employed general-purpose bombs, incendiary bombs, and cluster munitions throughout the war. These bombs played a significant role in the Allied bombing campaigns across Europe.
