THey have helmet not to mess their hair cut and glasses not to lose their makeup.Buddha Smoker said:I wonder if they carried hair spray too :?
Early in the kamikaze years, yes you are right, but when things started going poorly, they were just instructed to fly into things. Dogfighting takes a lot of skill (and so does shooting at ships effectivly). If a rookie with a few hours flight instruction and no dogfighting tactics training tried to go up against a seasoned Navy pilot and his wingman, they would never get to do their kamikaze attack run.playaa said:But mind you, they had to fight first they didnt just crash immediately, They did do some shooting until they was hit, or out of bullets or reached their target.
