I was flipping through some books and I stumbled across a air-to-surface missle called the Igo. Mitsubishi's radio controlled Igo-1-A was powered by a rocket motor producing 240kg (530Ib) of thrust for 75 seconds and was planned to be slung underneath a Ki-67 bomber (another Mitsubishi craft). This picture was taken before it flight trials in the autumn of 1944. The war ended before the Igo-1-A was deployed in military operations. The Igo-1-B was a design produced under Kawasaki. It too was radio controlled and its transport was a modified Ki-48-II (Kawasaki). The missle had a rocket motor generatin 150kg (330Ib) of thrust for 80 seconds. it was planned to use a Kawasaki Ki-102b aircraft as it launch-platform. 180 missles were made but none saw service. The Igo-I-C was designed by Tokyo Imperial University's Aeronautical Institute and used an acuostic seeker to home in on the noise of a warships' guns. Trials in 1945 are thought to be successful. The design came too late to be mass produced.
