Same as the other combatants...pilots, airmen, or aviators. But you're probably thinking of the "Kamikazes." Kamikazes were just pilots that flew their bomb laden airplanes into US or British warships commencing about October 1944 at the battle of Leyte Gulf. Allied men called them suicide pilots, which was the final result of the Kamikaze pilot...but they were called "Special Attack Squadrons" by the Japanese themselves.
More importantly though, the Kamikazes weren't out to commit suicide...they were out to sink ships! So when you think about it, trading one man (the Kamikaze) for 300 men and one multi-million dollar warship; militarily speaking...that's tactically a very deadly weapon.
Today's Kamikazes are called "Cruise Missiles."
