The Japanese had to get creative in their attempts to attack the US mainland since they had no aircraft capable of reaching the needed distances. What device did the Japanese develop in an unsuccessful effort attack the United States homeland?

The balloon bombs were carried on wind currents to the US, where the Japanese hoped they could start fires and cause death and destruction. Ultimately, the thousands of balloons that were launched only resulted in the deaths of 6 Americans.
