Grand Slam bomb
The Grand Slam (Earthquake) bomb was a very large bomb developed by the British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis in late 1944. It was twice the weight of the Tallboy bomb; both weapons were intended for use against large and protected buildings and structures against which smaller bombs were ineffective. It weighed nearly ten tonnes and remains the heaviest bomb used in any conflict.
