Kugisho Okha 22
This Kugisho MXY7 K-2 Ohka (Cherry Blossom) is the last remaining example of this desperate technology. The Ohka was a human-guided missile, brought within striking distance of Allied targets atached to the belly of Japenese twin-engine bombers. The U. S. Navy transferred this Okha to the Smithsonian in 1974 in deteriorated condition and without wings.
