Aircraft History
Built by Kugisho. Delivered to the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) as MXY7 Model 11 Ohka (Baka) manufacture number 61.

Wartime History
After the surrender of Japan captured by the American occupation forces and shipped to the United States for technical evaluation.

Wreckage
This Ohka was displayed at NAS Alameda. On December 22, 1945 photographed without an engine or air scoops. Later, U.S. Navy personnel added dummy rocket tubes. On April 15, 1948 transferred to the National Air Museum (NASM) and initially displayed at the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building. In the early 1970s moved to NASM Paul Garber Facility. In January 1964 restoration began but had to fabricate missing parts including air scoops, rebuild the cockpit and repairs to the skin and airframe and was repainted. By 1997, the restoration was completed and stored in NASM Paul Garber Facility.

Display
In December 2003 placed on display at NASM Udvar-Hazy Center.
