The Kamikaze were suicide attacks by military aviators from the Empire of Japan against Allied naval vessels in the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of World War II, designed to destroy war-ships more effectively than was possible with conventional attacks. During World War II, about 3,860 kamikaze pilots were killed, and about 19% of kamikaze attacks managed to hit a ship.

Worst kamikaze atttack in WW II (Okinawa).
Best naval footage ever shot by a navy cameraman. The camera was in the gun turret under attack !!
