Detailed explanation-1: -kamikaze, any of the Japanese pilots who in World War II made deliberate suicidal crashes into enemy targets, usually ships. The term also denotes the aircraft used in such attacks. The practice was most prevalent from theBattle of Leyte Gulf, October 1944, to the end of the war.
Detailed explanation-2: -During World War Two, thousands of Japanese pilots volunteered to be kamikaze, suicidally crashing their planes in the name of their emperor.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a documentary entitled Wings of Defeat, in which several kamikaze pilots who otherwise survived their mission tell their stories, one particularly frank pilot admitted that his first reaction to being told he had to fly the next day was to say “Oh, I’m screwed”.
Detailed explanation-4: -Did any kamikaze survive? It is rare for a kamikaze pilot to have survived the attack as their mission was to crash their aircraft into enemy targets, which typically resulted in their own death. Despite this, there were a few cases where kamikaze pilots survived their missions.
