Yasukuni 's Wings-Ohka Kamikaze Rocket Plane 靖国の翼-桜花特攻戰机

http://www.tanksboy.com/ws/
Ohka, (桜花) "cherry blossom") was a purpose-built, rocket powered human-guided anti-shipping kamikaze attack plane employed by Japan towards the end of World War II. United States sailors gave the aircraft the nickname Baka (Japanese for -fool or idiot)

Ohka was a manned flying bomb that was usually carried underneath a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" Model 24J bomber 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 three solid-fuel rockets, one at a time or all in unison[4], and fly the missile towards the ship that he intended to destroy.

Interesting. The photo with the young guys and the puppy was very sad. Wars should be fought by the old fools who start them.
