Japan's Kamikaze Jet: America Is Lucky They Did Not Make It Earlier*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* The most well-known Japanese jet—and the only one that saw combat—was the Okha, a rocket-propelled and human-piloted kamikaze. *Key Point: **Like its big brother the Me-262, the Kikka was too little, too late.* It is a fallacy that Germany was the only nation to develop combat jets in World War II. In truth, while Germany had the most advanced technology, all of the major powers had jet aircraft projects during World War II, including the United States, Britain, Russia, Italy and Japan. *(This first appeared several months ago.)* The most well-kn... read more

Some states and localities went ahead and banned vaccine passports, although there was little indication at the time that such requirements were even under consideration.
