Re: "Balls of Fire" attacks against B-29s over Japan
Ed please
You are referring to a book which has nothing to say about the topic on hand.
Yes I have it and of course it does not mention anything about a Suzuka 24, or a nightfighter version
of the basic Ohka model
The Baika had nothing to do with the Ohka and even less with the fanciful Suzuka 24.
The Nakajima Kikka was the Japanese version of the Me 262
The Ohka model 43 was never built (one wooden mock up) and as far as I can see had nothing to do
with the Suzuka 24
With regard to the pulse-jet Ka-10 (not the rocket engine KR-10 as stated for the Suzuka 24) I can't
for the life of me see how such an engine could be fitted to the Ohka.
I have no idea what the B-29 crews saw, but if you or anyone else want to convince me, you have
to do a lot better than the Internet sites referred to.
Cheers
