THe MOAB is not strictly the largest conventional bomb the Americans have made. The largest bomb was made during the 2nd WW under the Code Name Project Aphrodite. It is reported on Wikipedia that it had a pay load of 13.6 Tonnes of Torpex. B17 Bombers were packed with this explosive and remotely guided to the target. The B17's were stationed at Fersfield, Norfolk England. There is no memorial at the disused Fersfield air base to the many American and British Serviceman that lost their lives. Joeseph Kennedy was killed while flying one of the remote controlled aircraft.
