At the time they were the longest range strike in history but they were near impossible to aim and easily effected by bad weather. Only 300 were confirmed to reach America, with sightings in Mexico and Canada. https://i.imgur.com/81JS7bG.jpg All of these landed in the middle of nowhere. However a pregnant lady and 5 children found one of them in Oregon. One of the kids kicked it and they all died. Only 4 of which died instantly. These were the only US causalities of WW2 on US Mainland soil. Japan considered the entire enterprise a gigantic failure due to the time, money and resources they put into the project. One of the aims was to damage morale in America due to psychologically knowing they were danger in their own homes, which never happened. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:971303287] in In WW2 Jap...
