Tallboy Bomb

A Tallboy Bomb was a large British aerial weapon used during World War II, designed to destroy heavily fortified targets like bunkers and submarine pens. It was exceptionally large and heavy, featuring a streamlined design for high-altitude elevation and accuracy. When released from a bomber aircraft, it would descend rapidly toward its target, often guided by the plane’s position. Its size and weight allowed it to penetrate deep into reinforced structures before detonating, causing significant destruction. The Tallboy was a significant technological advancement in strategic bombing, providing effective force against specifically hardened targets.
