No terror haunted sailors in the Pacific theatre of World War 2 quite like the Japanese kamikaze. These enemy pilots, armed with explosives and a oneway ticket, transformed their aircraft into manned missiles. In this video, we'll dive into the harrowing experience of being targeted by this fearsome tactic, examine genuine footage of those attacks and We'll explore how one ship, amidst the chaos, not only found itself the victim of a kamikaze attack, but miraculously survived to tell the tale.
