Japanese pilots who flew into warships, particularly during World War II, are best known for their involvement in kamikaze missions. These suicide attacks were aimed at inflicting maximum damage on Allied naval vessels, particularly during battles in the Pacific Theater. The term "kamikaze" translates to "divine wind," reflecting the belief that these pilots were sacrificing themselves for their country. These missions became a desperate strategy as Japan faced increasing losses and dwindling resources.
