History:
The model 22 "Ohka" was designed to increase the range of
the model 11, thus hopefully saving the parent aircraft from attack.Fitted with
a simple Campini-type motorjet engine and small wings. It was to carried by
the Yokosuka P1Y-1 "Ginga" medium bomber at
first, with a definitive version being specifically designed for the job P1Y-3,
this never got beyond the drawing board, but the third prototype P1Y was used
for test flights with the Ohka 22. Only fifty of these diminutive aircraft were
made, with only one taking to the air in July 1945 for testing carried by a
P1Y-1.
