In late 1944 in Japan, Yokosuka's MXY7 Ohka (Cherry Blossom) was flight-tested in both the glider and rocket-powered configuration. Armed with a 1,700-lb. warhead, each Ohka was to be carried within about 20 miles of its target by a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber, and released on its one-way mission. Americans knew it as the "Baka bomb" presumably because "baka" meant "foolish" in Japanese. Okhas sank at least two ships.

Not my pic, but I just saw a male black horse fly for the second time. Giant thing (1" long), and crazy looking eyes (which is how I know both times I saw a male). Reminds me of "Dark Helmet."
