Hello, i am new and i was wondering if anyone knows if there was Kamakazees in the pearl harbour mission, not if it was a Kamakazee mission but if there were
i was just wondering, and reply would be nice
thanx

Hi Mazekwon. To answer your question: Not in the accepted manner. The Japanese launched several midget submarines to infiltrate the harbor and torpedo any ships undamaged or slightly damaged by the air attack. This would have resulted in extremely high casualties for the subs in the shallow water, as it eventually did. All the submarines were lost in the operation without damaging any warships. They were supposed to return to the "Mother"subs outside the harbor at the conclusion of the attack. As far as aircraft Kamakaze's, I recall reading of one dive bomber pilot, who after having his plane riddled by anti-aircraft fire, deliberately dove his plane into an undamaged airplane hanger on Ford Island. I hope this answers your question. Best wishes, John.

Welcoma aboard and yes there were Kqamakazis at PH but they werent intentional Kamakazis but a spur of the moment kind of thing. This is based on a pilots decision to do a kamakazi into an aircraft hanger, because he knew he wasnt going to make it back to his ship as his plane was damaged.

Thanks guys i appericiate it alot i really like whut you guys are doing here i don't think there is enough forums on topics that are informative, usually just arguements and stuff, and thank you very much for the info and the pleasent welcoming

Much appreciated and thats why I quit the other forums. Too much childish arguing.

Two days ago as a matter of fact, a friend of mine posted photos of my set of generals Collar Tabs and Mint set of Generalleutnants shoulderboards. This one wellknown controversial idiot, saw that these were mins and in a rageous fit of being a bit jealous of my stuff, just HAD to spout off saying they were fake items even thopugh I know better.

The Genlts boards are stone mint and were part of a purchase I made that was from THE Generals own family. The set of tabs I got when a friend of mine bought another Generals estate from his family for about a cool $100,000, a few years ago. These tabs were part of the estate.
