Kamikaze Pilots

During the late stages of World War II, Japanese pilots would intentionally crash their planes into enemy ships. They would load their planes with explosives, bombs, torpedoes, and full fuel tanks to make the devastation even worse, and, of course, the pilots themselves would die in the attack. These pilots were a major factor in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

  1. "...a major factor in...Pearl Harbor"???? You need to bone-up on WW II history. Kamikaze attacks started late in the Pacific War.
