While it was first intercontinental weapon it was, well, a balloon. Of 9300 launched only around 300 managed to cross the Pacific (and it was probably much less since we all know how Usians are about seeing flying objects and having wartime paranoia). Only one caused any human losses, killing 6 people in Oregon.
