I would correct the heading to read "Best CONVENTIONAL bomb of all time."

The all-around title ends in a war ending tie:

Fat Man and Little Boy

Without which quite possibly my wife and I would never have been born.

The Upkeep, Highball, Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs were all designed by the very gentle Sir Barnes Wallis, a most remarkable engineer with a massive range of achievements. Have a look at this:
