The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka
Japan
By Salem
The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka "Cherry Blossom" was the world's only purpose built Kamikaze suicide attack aircraft that saw service.
The American sailors nicknamed it "Baka" which is Japanese for idiot or fool.
The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was less of an aircraft and more like a flying bomb.
It had short stubby wings and very crude controls.
The pilot was carried by a 'mother' aircraft, which was usually a converted bomber, then released within gliding range of it's target.
