Talk:T-12 Cloudmaker

This article has inconsistencies.

- Claims the T-12 was used at the end of WWII on German targets (ie before VE day)

- Claims the T-12 was so large it could only be carried by the Convair B-36

These two claims are irreconcilible as the B-36 didn't exist during WW-II, having entered service in 1948. And similarly, WW-II didn't exist when the B-36 did :).

I strongly suspect the T-12 never ever saw service in WW-II (article makes no mention of service), either because it's design was not complete before end of WW-II or else because there simply were no WW-II bombers capable of carrying a single 20 tonne bomb of this size (as the second claim suggests).

The service/timeline claims should be researched and improved or dropped.

The page linked here has more accurate information, which I will incorporate in here, including that a B-29 was modified to allow it to carry one T12.

Is this a WW-2 weapon? And when was it used? --Ysangkok 22:02, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It was a further development of the Grand Slam bomb and Tallboy bomb, which were WWII weapons, but it was a postwar weapon. It was never actually used beyond a few test drops. Check out this site for more info. TomTheHand 05:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
