[Kamikaze Attack] Danger's Hour: The Story of the USS Bunker Hill and the Kamikaze Pilot

In the closing months of World War II, Americans found themselves facing a new and terrifying weapon: kamikazes -- the first men to use airplanes as suicide weapons.
By the beginning of 1945, American pilots were shooting down Japanese planes more than ten to one. The Japanese had so few metals left that the military had begun using wooden coins and clay pots for hand grenades. For the first time in 800 years, Japan faced imminent invasion. As Germany faltered, the combined strength of every warring nation gathered at Japan's door. Desperate, Japan turned to its most idealistic young men -- the best and brightest college students -- and demanded of them the greatest sacrifice.
On the morning of May 11, 1945, days after the Nazi surrender, the USS Bunker Hill -- a magnificent vessel that held thousands of crewmen and the most sophisticated naval technology available -- was holding at the Pacific Theater, 70 miles off the coast of Okinawa.
At precisely 9:58 a.m., Kiyoshi Ogawa radioed in to his base at Kanoya, 350 miles from the Bunker Hill, I found the enemy vessels. After eighteen months of training, Kiyoshi tucked a comrade's poem into his breast pocket and flew his Zero five hours across the Pacific. Now the young Japanese pilot had located his target and was on the verge of fulfilling his destiny. At 10:02.30 a.m., as he hovered above the Bunker Hill, hidden in a mass of clouds, Kiyoshi spoke his last words: Now, I am nose-diving into the ship.
The attack killed 393 Americans and was the worst suicide attack against America until September 11. Juxtaposing Kiyoshi's story with the stories of untold heroism of the men aboard the Bunker Hill, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy details how American sailors and airmen worked together, risking their own lives to save their fellows and ultimately triumphing in their efforts to save their ship.
Drawing on years of research and firsthand interviews with both American and Japanese survivors, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy draws a gripping portrait of men bravely serving their countries in war and the advent of a terrifying new weapon, suicide bombing, that nearly halted the most powerful nation in the world.
Anime : The Cockpit by Reiji Matsumoto (Official Short) HD
«I am pleased to have the honour of having been chosen as a member of a Special Attack Force that is on its way into battle, but I cannot help crying when I think of you, Mum. When I reflect on the hopes you had for my future ... I feel so sad that I am going to die without doing anything to bring you joy.»
Pilot Ichizo Hayashi, last letter home a few days before his final flight. April 1945

BGM : Kanashii Toki Wa Itsumo by Hiroyuki Matsuda
The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (櫻花; Shinjitai: 桜花; cherry blossom; Hebon-shiki transcription Ōka) was a purpose-built, rocket powered human-guided anti-shipping kamikaze attack plane employed by Japan towards the end of World War II. United States sailors gave the aircraft the nickname Baka (Japanese for fool or idiot) The MXY-7 Navy Suicide Attacker Ohka was a manned flying bomb that was usually carried underneath a Mitsubishi G4M2e Betty Model 24J bomber to within range of its target; on release, the pilot would first glide towards the target and when close enough he would fire the Ohka's three solid-fuel rockets, one at a time or in unison, and fly the missile towards the ship that he intended to destroy.
The design was conceived by Ensign Mitsuo Ohta of the 405th Kokutai, aided by students of the Aeronautical Research Institute at the University of Tokyo. Ohta submitted his plans to the Yokosuka research facility. The Imperial Japanese Navy decided the idea had merit and Yokosuka engineers of the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal (Dai-Ichi Kaigun Koku Gijitsusho, or in short Kugisho created formal blueprints for what was to be the MXY7. The only variant which saw service was the Model 11, and it was powered by three Type 4 Mark 1 Model 20 rockets. 155 Ohka Model 11s were built at Yokosuka, and another 600 were built at the Kasumigaura Naval Air Arsenal.
The final approach was almost unstoppable because the aircraft gained high speed (403 miles per hour (649 km/h) in level flight and 576 miles per hour (927 km/h) or even 650 miles per hour (1,050 km/h) in a dive). Later versions were designed to be launched from coastal air bases and caves, and even from submarines equipped with aircraft catapults, although none were actually used in this way. It appears that the operational record of Ohkas includes three ships sunk or damaged beyond repair and three other ships with significant damage. Seven US ships were damaged or sunk by Ohkas throughout the war. The USS Mannert L. Abele was the first Allied ship to be sunk by Ohka aircraft, near Okinawa on 12 April 1945.
The Ohka pilots, members of the Jinrai Butai (Thunder Gods Corps), are honored in Japan at Ohka Park in Kashima City, the Ohka Monument in Kanoya City, the Kamakura Ohka Monument at Kenchō-ji Kamakura, and the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.

★ Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (Japanese Suicide Rocket Bomb Plane│Okinawa 1945)
Die Yokosuka MXY-7 „Ohka“ war ein für Selbstopferangriffe konzipiertes japanisches Militärflugzeug. Die Codebezeichnung der Alliierten für diese bemannte Gleitbombe war „Baka“. Vorne seitlich am Bug aufgemalt ist ein fünfgliedriges rosa Logo, das offenbar eine Kirschblüte symbolisiert.

The final approach was difficult for a defender to stop because the aircraft gained high speed (650 km/h (400 mph) in level flight and 930 km/h (580 mph) or even 1,000 km/h (620 mph) in a dive.

The total cost of construction about 600 million yen was spent in the Hitachi Shipbuilding & Engineering Mukaishima west factory site in the Hiroshima Prefecture Onomichi City Mukaishima-cho, and the battleship Japanese location set as big as the original dimension was made. 190 meters from the prow to the vicinity of the bridge were reproduced among 263 meters in the total length. It was chiefly constructed with the iron frame, the frame for the interior, and plywood.
The barrel and the upper part of the bridge of the first main armament tower are omitted. Because the bridge became a multistory building, Building Standard Law was not able to be cleared. Moreover, there was no space that set up the foundation of the main armament because of installation features, and it became shape that only Hazcama is simplified about the first main armament. Those lack parts synthesized 1/10 models that had been exhibited in a Japanese museum and were taken of a picture. It was extremely simplified from the first main armament ahead in the part newly increased for opening to the public, and the perfection was low.
It completes it in March, 2005. It was done until June of the same year, and general was open to the public to taking a picture on July 17 of the same year (admission fee adult 500 yen and child 300 yen). The making scene of the movie of the scene that used the Kei dining room (Did business as it is as a dining room) used as staff's dining room besides opening the set to the public, properties, the panel exhibition, and the Japanese location set was telecasted at the same time.
The period of opening to the public is extended until the period of Golden Week May 7 of the same year while doing a detailed restoration for attendance figures that greatly exceed the expectation though opening to the public was scheduled to be ended by thinking about the longevity of the set at first on March 31, 2006. The heroic deed of one million person breakthrough is achieved on the final day. 1,002,343 visitors every 253 days except the closed day visited.
Dismantlement was begun on May 10 after opening to the public ended. In addition, the waiting time of three hours was generated in the voice to hope for the extension of opening to the public until it visited a lot of sets on the fact and the finality of opening to the public day. However, it became a close being regretted because the installation site of the location set was a shipyard under the stop, and re-operation of this shipyard approached.
When a Japanese museum in Kure City proposed to Toei that it wanted you to contribute 64 points in total such as the main armament body, machine guns, and properties, Toei seems to have accepted pleasantly. Two as of 2008. exhibition in annex in Japanese museum
