Certainly the US (marine corps) had access to a bunker-buster air-to-surface rocket from 1943 onwards called 'Tiny Tim'. Think it even saw some service in Korea...

Wow. That must have been well before he learned to play the Ukulele.

There are air-ground rocket devices, but I don't know if any a/c use them at this time.

Well Tiny Tim certainly saw service in the Pacific from the 2nd half of '43 onwards. Got fitted to the P47 & I think there may have been a few field modifications & fixtures to USMC Corsairs (who also used it in Korea)
