WWII, Battle of Okinawa, Kamikaze Attack,1945

USS Sangamon (CVE-26) attacked by a Japanese kamikaze plane off Okinawa, May 4, 1945. This plane missed the ship by 25 feet or less. Kamikaze were a part of the Japanese Special Attack Units of military aviators who initiated suicide attacks for the Empire of Japan against Allied naval vessels in the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of WWII, designed to destroy warships more effectively than possible with conventional air attacks. About 3,800 kamikaze pilots died during the war, and more than 7,000 naval personnel were killed by kamikaze attacks. (cropped and cleaned).
