"Balls of Fire" attacks against B-29s over Japan
I've read plenty of literature regarding the B-29 night attacks against the Japanese empire. There are many accounts of "Balls of Fire" attacking B-29s at night. The implication is that these were Yokosuka Ohka MXY-7 attack. The Ohkas had to be air carried by Betty bombers especially equipped for the task.
I have never seen any documentation from the Japanese side to corroborate these attacks. Did they happen or are they merely imagined?
