The Yokosuka E14Y, codenamed "Glen" by United States forces, was an Imperial Japanese Navy seaplane transported aboard and launched from Japanese submarine aircraft carriers such as the I-25 during World War II. The Japanese Navy designation was "Type 0 Small Reconnaisance Seaplane" (零式小型水上偵察機).

The aircraft was used for several Japanese reconnaissance missions during the Pacific War and was also the only aircraft to drop bombs on the United States mainland during World War II, in an incident known as The Lookout Air Raid. A total of 138 planes were produced.
