US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
Kamikazes fought during WWII. The pilots were considered brave. Terrorists acted outside of their government's authority; i.e. not under a situation of declared war. The pilots are considered terrorists.

B52 pilots during the Vietnam War typically wore military-issued watches that were rugged and reliable, such as the Hamilton B-U.S. Army watch or the Timex Military watch. These timepieces were designed for durability and functionality under extreme conditions. Additionally, some pilots opted for other brands known for their precision and robustness, reflecting the practical needs of their missions. Overall, the emphasis was on utility rather than style.
Three reasons: 1. To keep warm - the wind whipping around the head and shoulders worked its way under the leather flying jacket. 2. To prevent the leather flying jacket from chafing the neck. 3. To wipe engine grease from the goggles.
The unit you are referring to is the "Fascist Italian Air Force Volunteer Group," commonly known as the "Aviazione Legionaria." This group was composed of Italian pilots who volunteered to support Germany during the Battle of Britain and other operations, fighting under the Luftwaffe's command. Their involvement showcased Italy's alliance with Nazi Germany during World War II.

On the contrary, American pilots flew planes like the F2A Buffalo under the Finnish flag all through the Second World War. Germany's only two Allies were Italy, and Japan.
