What Was It Like to Be a Kamikaze Pilot?

Imagine stepping into the cockpit of your fighter plane knowing it was going to be for the last time. Japanese Kamikaze fighters were trained to give their life for their country during World War II, but what was life really like for these soldiers before they took their final flight?

I’ll be honest watching this video made me feel like I was right there with the pilot, my hands were sweating and my heart started racing, I can’t even imagine how these men felt in that plane as the mechanics started it, they probably didn’t really want to be there but the pressure from the emperor scared them into doing this, I wonder how many men intentionally crashed their planes into the ocean last minute hoping they would survive and not have to nose dive into the ship and await a certain death, thanks for the video man, this is a really powerful piece of history that should not be forgotten.

I know this is a joke, but its also a really good point. I'd say the chances of survival is almost as low even if you did parachute eject. 1. You might just land in the ocean and drown or on an enemy aircraft carrier and get shot up. 2. You succeed landing on a ship or didnt drown, but you will most likely be captured by the enemies and could be subject to torture where you might leak information to the enemy. I am assuming they had to die because they didnt want to give the enemy intel, and dying on impact is the least painful way compared to the alternatives.

Fun fact: Japan created a purpose-built kamikaze plane, called the MXY-7 Ohka. It was basically a 2000 pound bomb with a cockpit and wings. Worse part about it was that it wasnt a propeller plane. It was rocket-powered, and often went way too fast for allied anti-air guns to hit.

They had a a way of seeing eye to eye with the enemy. Granted, they were often buried with work. But, at the end of the day, they could usually clear their minds and relax knowing that they made life difficult for anyone who had to sweep their remains off of the side of the boat.

When I was in elementary school back in the mid 70's. I remember the teacher played a movie that was about WWII. It showed a Japanese destroyer ship that had a single file line of teenage boys 17-18 years old. There were hundreds, it looked like. All in line waiting to walk down this staircase that was welded to the hull of the ship. It went from an area on the deck towards the bow (front) of the ship. There was a big door on the side of the ship that was almost at the water line level. At this opening in the side of the ship is where the staircase landing was. A type of platform and a couple of guys would load a floating torpedo into the water. It had a steering wheel in the front and a metal seat on top the torpedo. The steering was just a steel rod that went straight down through the torpedo housing to a small rudder. There was another setup just like that at the rear of the torpedo. So, these young boys would take a seat, two people on one torpedo. Their job was to steer that torpedo once the thruster was ignited into the target ! I was probably in 5th or 6th grade when I seen that, never will I forget it. I was thinking could you imagine you and either the guy in front of you or behind you is going to be your suicide partner basically ! Everyone just waiting their turn going down those stairs to die ! That was the Japanese version of a guided torpedo! Back then everyone was worried about nuclear attack too.

Also why compare sailors to pilots?

[@MattDaBoneless]

Technical training consists of trying to land on battleships owned by the enemy. If they are successful and returned they were lost and considered cowards... So sad

[@todshi]

Hasn't any of the Kamikazes actually asked themselves "You know, if this suicide thing is such a great honor, dying for the Emperor and all, then why don't any of our generals volunteer for these missions? Don't they want to go to Heaven?"

Expand it further. If all these religious christians believed in Heaven, wouldn't they try to die as fast as possible to get there? The church was smart by adding in the suicide rule.

[@todshi]

@@Kraken9911 I think that goes to basic self preservation. Christians want to go to Heaven, but they like living in this world as well (can't convert others if they're dead)...

[@twistedyogert]

I've always been skeptical of the effectiveness of the Kamikaze attacks. The planes that were used were still potentially useful assets, even if they were only useful for scrap metal. Scrap could still be used to make new planes.
I suspect that exclusively using the MXY-7 Ohka (9:35) would've made the attacks more successful. They seem like they would've been simpler and cheaper to produce since they were little more than gliders with a trio of solid rocket engines and a warhead attached.

[@TexasHoosier3118]

Dropping bombs and torpedoes requires extensive training. Japan had little fuel left. Too easy to miss by dropping a bomb.
