Fuck all that bad noise. I'm still trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets. I have no time for dadaist nonsense.
But at least you posted it in the appropriate subforum. Which has to be worth something.
So that shrapnel wont get into their brain rendering their pilot skills useless?
Pilot skills, you say?
The average kamikaze pilot had almost no technical training. Their training mostly involved being beaten up.

(scroll down to "training").
Oh..... They didn't wear helmets.... I see what you did there
Though I wasn't saying they were skilled. I was just talking about the ability to keep the plane in the air.
14% of kamikazes hit, but only 40% were shot down. Which leads you to believe that 46% of kamikaze pilots were in fact unable to keep the plane in the air. Which in turn leads you to believe, given the planes they were flying, that their "training" consisted of being told how to do shit. I have no idea if they got any actual flight time at all prior to the big chicken dinner.
