Some Kamikaze pilots survived. Not every mission did a “worthy” target avail itself and the pilot would RTB. Kamikazes would only attack worthy vessels and some would not attack destroyers, I think one of them wrote a book.

Probably some kind of prayer. Maybe a blessing for the pilot only the pilot went awol before it could be launched.

Actually the Japs weren’t the only Kamikaze.

My great-uncle Gerald “Argyle” McNaughton was a Scottish Kamikaze.

He crashed his DeHavilland Mosquito in my grandfather’s scrapyard.

One looks to be a datum or balance point..its common to put on military aircraft simple service marking...Look at photos of P51 you will see a + sometimes just by the data block at the cockpit..this was for aircraft fitted with rear fuel tank because it moved the center of gravity aft

Your right, I have the book here somewhere. It was quite interesting. the guy that wrote it was going to the base they flew them out of and the plane he was on developed a problem causing enough delay that the war was declared over and he lucked out. (if I remember right)

I read a few Kamikaze didn’t consider being ordered to go was such an honor. One took off circled around and strafed the HQ................................

I had read that they had a belly fuse, so if they decided to land without ramming a ship it would explode.
