I doubt that the bomb was dropped from a "Betty" type bomber. The "Betty" was a land based aircraft and the Japanese had no occupied territory where a "Betty" could fly that far. I believe the bomb you are talking about came from a small float plane that was carried on a submarine. I'll also point out that Ft. Stevens Oregon received several shells on a single occasion from a submarine which didn't hit anything.
