  1. One thought that came up to me: being entirely made of wood (engine & bomb being the sole exceptions) and so small, these things would be almost invisible to radar right untill very close. A perfect weapon for a night raid...

  2.  @Bialy_1  yes on the radar, but it will be very small target signature, a serious problem for a 1945 radar. And the training will be an issue, but remember these pilots only have to take off and fly straight for a few miles; the invading USN fleet was supposed to be close inshore, so would be hard to find, specially if it's a clear night, or full moon. And if one or two pilots get lost or crash... ah well...
