The Kugisho E14Y1 Model 11, known by the Allied reporting name 'Glen', was a Japanese submarine-launched reconnaissance seaplane used during World War II.

Developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal (Kugisho), this compact aircraft was designed to be stored in a watertight hangar aboard I-class submarines.

It could be quickly assembled and launched via a catapult for reconnaissance missions. Powered by a single radial engine, the E14Y1 had a crew of two and was equipped with floats for water landings.

The 'Glen' is notable for its role in the only wartime bombing of the U.S. mainland, when it was used for a small-scale incendiary attack on forests in Oregon in 1942.

Despite its limited offensive capabilities, the E14Y1's versatility and stealth made it a unique asset for the Imperial Japanese Navy's covert operations.
