In this undated file photo, U.S. Marines from the 1st Regiment of the 4th Marine Division inspect a Japanese suicide bomber Ohka, which means cherry blossom, at Yukosuka Naval Air Station in Yokosuka, Japan. The Ohka was a glider packed with bombs and powered by tiny rockets, built to blow up. They were taken near the targets, hooked on to the bottom of planes, and then let go. Americans called it the "Baka bomb." Baka is the Japanese word for idiot. Because their cruise range was so limited, they were easily shot down. AP
