Just about that. Although the German flying bombs were more often than not referred to by their actual names V-1 & V-2 the V1 was sometimes called the "buzz bomb." The Japanese "Ohka" rocket was actually manned, and the pilot guided the machine into its target...effective when it hit...but it only sunk one (possibly two) US warship(s) during the war. Nicknamed "Baka" (fool) by US Sailors, it was released from its mother ship (a Betty bomber) enroute to target, as the craft dropped from the mother's belly the pilot ignited his rocket engine and made the short run into his objective...which had to be straight as this particular machine wasn't designed for aerobatics!
