Yokosuka-9 Bomber Interceptor

824 DoughDough5  one year ago

Info

On May 2nd, 1945, American troops captured what they believed to be a Ohka. However, on further inspection, they found that there was no warhead attached and it was much shorter. Many things about this aircraft are unknown but it is most likely that this aircraft was built to attack B-29 bombers. However, there have been no reports of such things happening besides 2 possible encounters. It could be confused with the Suzuka-24 aircraft since the two aircraft are almost identical.
