Guest tony.osborne Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was a rocket powered human-guided anti-shipping kamikaze attack plane, using as a platform, the bomber Mitsubishi G4M Betty. The following link shows a report and some photos this weapon, employed by Japan towards the end of World War II. I hope you enjoy. http://aviacaoemfloripa.blogspot.com.br/2011/02/uma-bomba-kamikase.html Cheers. Anthony

rgmwa Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Terrible waste of life. They had suicide torpedos too. The few who survived those, usually due to aborted missions, then had to deal with the shame of surviving. rgmwa
