Kamikaze Japanese Pilots

Japanese Pilots
Japanese pilots in WWII had a big responsibility, many of them knew that they most likely would not be returning home on the attack on Pearl Harbor. In Japan they used many ways to get people to join and be a pilot for the war! Most of the pilots didn't have any special training just ordinary people that wouldn't be going home after Pearl Harbor.
