(1) The kamikaze attacks were a demonstration of spiritual courage and determination.

(2) At Okinawa in 1945, out of 193 kamikaze attacks, 169 planes were destroyed.

(3) The first modern instance was in 1944-45, when the US navy was confronted by kamikaze pilots trying to fly planes loaded with high explosive into their ships as they approached Japan.

(4) Their value to the fleet was highlighted during the invasion of Okinawa, when kamikaze attacks upon the Fifth Fleet created high numbers of casualties among the forces afloat.

(5) It has been estimated that 5,000 kamikaze pilots died.

(6) One point Hanson alludes to is the real difference between the Japanese kamikaze as a tactical weapon of terror and the fanatical suicide zealot as a terrorist.

(7) Lee bounds to the crease like jello on springs, Collingwood dabs him down and England take another kamikaze run.

(8) Richard does a kamikaze run in minus 20 celsius and snowing weather, getting pelted with paintballs.

(9) However, the destruction of so many kamikaze flights did a great deal to undermine the potential for damage that the kamikazes could have inflicted.

(10) References to Pearl Harbor and kamikaze pilots could stir up old WWII prejudices against Japanese-Americans.

(11) But the spectre of kamikaze strikes makes any talk of the potentially positive contribution nuclear energy could make to a balanced and renewable energy supply fraught with difficulty.

(12) They came at him from every direction, not moving with their usual shuffle, but in a frenzied kamikaze attack.

(13) Yet there are worrying signs that the prime minister plans to end his war against the real Labour party with kamikaze attacks on its most cherished values.

(16) Admittedly, people have made too much of the apocryphal remark attributed to Adm Chester Nimitz that no surprises occurred in the Second World War in the Pacific except the kamikazes .

(17) Alongside the land side Japanese defences, the Japanese high command put their faith in the kamikazes which it was believed would inflict such serious casualties on the Americans in Okinawa that they would retreat.

(18) These attacks continued to the end of the war, and while modern conventional air defenses inflicted heavy casualties, enough kamikazes got through to their targets to inflict serious losses on US naval ships and personnel.

(19) The next mistake concerns the Japanese decision to use suicide troops, or kamikazes , in the later stages of the war.

(20) The Homeland Defence Force had the potential to run into many thousands in the area and the kamikazes had shown the Allies that the Japanese were quite willing to die for the emperor and Japan.

(21) Robot kamikazes will soon be so cheap that anyone that nurses a grudge with the US can stock up on thousands of them, so many that it would be absurd to think that any countermeasure will be effective.

(26) For example, a night fight against kamikazes during battle for Okinawa, with antiaircraft shells and tracers and exploding airplanes lighting up the sky, is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen on film.

(27) In all subsequent amphibious campaigns - Luzon, Iwo Jima, Okinawa - the carriers battled land-based Japanese kamikazes , striking their airfields and other strategic targets.
