WW2 JAPANESE KAMIKAZE PILOTS
DEDICATED TO THE YOUNG MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR NO REAL REASON - SUCH A WASTE ON BOTH SIDES IN A SENCELESS CONFLICT
'Kamikaze' attacks in the Philippines. 'Our highest hope is to die for our emperor.' Conventional enemy air attacks failed to halt the Allied landings on the Philippines. The Japanese then resorted to ‘kamikaze’ (suicide) tactics in which they deliberately crashed their planes into the Allied vessels. Aircraft were armed with bombs or packed with high explosive and piloted by men prepared to die for their emperor. More than 1000 Japanese aircraft were lost in kamikaze operations during the last months of the Pacific war.
On 21 October 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, in the Philippines, HMAS Australia became the first Allied warship to be hit by a kamikaze aircraft.
