To the left, you see a photo of Japanese pilots in the practice of Bushidō. By the time of 1941, Japan had 31 divisions in it's army, with 18,000 men in each. Two million and three hundred thousand men were grown and raised around the idea of Bushidō, and it was seen as necessary to Japan's victory. Bushidō is the practice of loyalty and the will to do whatever is needed for the country and the emperor. The army was trained to do what was needed to win, and in the form of aerial warfare, was Kamikaze pilots. Kamikazes were deaths from above; they were suicide pilots that wanted the most causalities by collision. |
