The United States gave the aircraft the name Baka (Japanese for "fool" or "idiot") [2].
It was a manned flying bomb that was usually carried underneath a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty", or Yokosuka P1Y Ginga "Frances" (guided Type 22) bombers to within range of its target; on release, the pilot would first glide towards the target and when close enough he would fire the Ohka's rocket engine and guide the missile towards the ship that he intended to destroy. The final approach was almost unstoppable because the aircraft gained tremendous speed. |
They didn't get a lot of use as they were deployed late in the war.
