With a new strategy on how to win the war, Japan created a new kind of aircraft called the Yokosuka MXY-7, also know as Cherry Blossom. The plane was fitted with short wings and 3 solid-fuel rockets in the back. It was built to avoid enemy fire and penetrate the armor of naval ships. The aircraft could only travel a short distance, so it was launched by the bomber aircraft - Mitsubishi G4M.
