There is a book that you might be able to find in your local library or get on loan from another larger library. It's titled The Divine Wind. The book was writen by two Japanese officers who commanded air bases where Kamikaze fliers were stationed. It should answer all your questions. Library of Congress Number ISBN 0-553-12578-8
Kamikazes were Japanese pilots who were on suicide missions. They were insructed to run their planes into ships or bases in hope to kill. The Kamikaze pilots were trained in wooden crates as there were not enough planes to train them in. Also, the Kamikaze's only needed to be in the air long enough to find a target.
More intriguing is: Why did Kamakize pilots wear helmets?
They were trained by the training pilots, but once they had their training, they would be just good enough to know how to dive their planes into their targets. They didn't really need a trainer to train them how to dive their plane into something, just to train them the basics of flying so they could get to their destination and commit suicide, in other words, kamikaze.
