Voir la traduction automatique
Burning Japanese Kamikaze airplane slides across the flight deck of USS Lunga Point (CVE-94) before falling into the sea, off Iwo Jima on February 21, 1945. Kamikaze were a part of the Japanese Special Attack Units of military aviators who initiated suicide attacks for the Empire of Japan against Allied naval vessels in the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of WWII, designed to destroy warships more effectively than possible with conventional air attacks. About 3,800 kamikaze pilots died during the war, and more than 7,000 naval personnel were killed by kamikaze attacks. Kamikaze aircraft were essentially pilot-guided explosive missiles.
