2007 Republic-Ford JB-2, also known as the KGW and LTV-N-2 Loon, was a United States copy of the German V-1 flying bomb. Developed in 1944, and planned to be used in the United States invasion of Japan (Operation Downfall), the JB-2 was never used in combat. It was the most successful of the United States Army Air Forces Jet Bomb (JB) projects (JB-1 through JB-10) during World War II. Postwar, the JB-2 played a significant role in the development of more advanced surface-to-surface tactical missile systems such as the MGM-1 Matador and later MGM-13 Mace.

The Republic-Ford JB-2 was a jet-powered flying bomb that was developed by the United States during World War II. It was a copy of the German V-1, which was the first cruise missile in history. The JB-2 had a pulsejet engine that propelled it at speeds of over 400 miles per hour, and a warhead that contained 2,000 pounds of explosives.
The JB-2 could be launched from land, air or sea, and had a range of about 150 miles. The JB-2 was intended to be used against Japan, but the war ended before it could be deployed in combat. The JB-2 was later used for testing and research purposes, and helped pave the way for more advanced missiles in the postwar era.
