The very first kamikaze attack was in the Philipines, in 1944. A small fleet called "Taffy 3" were under attack by the Japanese navy earlier. Soon, a squadron of nine Japanese A6M Zeroes came in, five having a bomb, replacing the long range drop tank for the attack. The other four were escort fighters. The lead plane in the kamikaze formation was Lt. Yukio Seki. As they begin their attack, Seki tried to dive down on the USS White Plains, but after getting hit by AA fire, he turned and impacted an escort carrier, St. Lo.
