to protect their eyes
World War I pilots typically wore leather jackets and helmets to protect against the cold and wind at high altitudes. They also donned goggles to shield their eyes from debris and glare, as well as scarves to keep warm and prevent chafing from the cockpit. Some pilots wore specialized flying suits that included padded or insulated elements for added comfort and safety. Overall, their attire balanced functionality with the need for protection in the challenging flying conditions of the time.
there were 100,000 RAF (royal air force) pilots in the World War II and 90,000 died in the war

No the Japanese Kamikaze pilots were a phenomenon of late World War II.
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.

...were called pilots.
Way more than two pilots died in WW2.
Clothes. They wore a sheepskin leather jacket, sheepskin boots(like uggs), pants, sheepskin helmet and a parachute. They reason for all the sheepskin is because it was so cold up in the air, like -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

During World War I, pilots primarily wore leather jackets, often referred to as "flying jackets," to provide warmth and protection in open cockpits. They typically donned goggles to shield their eyes from wind and debris, along with scarves to help keep warm and reduce the risk of frostbite. Headgear varied, but many opted for leather helmets to protect their heads and ears. Additionally, gloves were essential for maintaining dexterity while operating the aircraft controls in cold conditions.
