USAF tried out the massive “Tarzon” bomb in Korea at end of 1950 during US retreat from the North. 21 feet high, 12,000 pounds, was largely inaccurate but inflicted enormous damage. It was considered unsuccessful and discontinued.


Thanks for the input!

Which is correct?
12,000 Ib or 10,000 Ib (as Cookie suggested)?

It looks like USAF has continued on improving the Tarzon bomb
and now testing more advanced and powerful version in Afgahistan.
Maybe we should call the new 15,000 Ib bomb as "Tarzon II."
