Comments (6). Martin: 11 Aug 2015 6:04:15pm I remember as a young child asking my Uncle Bill, a WW2 Spitfire and Hurricane pilot who was based in Burma and India, what was a kamikaze. I could not believe such a thing could possibly be true. The idea of it swirled around in my little head unresolved for a long time. I still have the Japanese aircraft identification booklet he gave me.
Crazy times I guess, but no crazier than now. Murray White: 12 Aug 2015 7:51:59am Brilliant work. Carl Major: 17 Aug 2015 8:40:40am What a beautiful and moving story.
I would love to know the name of the music in the last minute of the show, please. Moderator: Hi Carl, thanks so much for your comment.
The song is Sakura Sakura by Vienna Boys' Choir. It is a very famous folk song about cherry blossoms. Other versions of the song appear in the program. The Japanese Special Attack Forces were closely associated with cherry blossoms-the shedding of their petals symbolic of young lives falling in the wind.
VIce Admiral Onishi who instigated the first Special Attack Force in October, 1944 used the cherry blossom as a potent symbol to glorify sacrifice, the beauty of death. Many operations and 'kamikaze' planes were named after cherry blossoms-Yamazakura or Ohka for example. Carl Major: 17 Aug 2015 8:29:19pm Thank you very much for your prompt reply and for the valuable additional information. I'll share your words with my young students. Kind regards. Yoko: 18 Aug 2015 12:25:41am The survivor's comment was very moving. His values and concepts of bravery and duty - the idea that to survive was failure - were considered obscene after the war, despite having been praised as heroes for these same values during the war.
The internal struggle that he and his surviving colleagues must have endured, in order to live as honorably as they would have died, must have been immense. Andrew King: 19 Aug 2015 6:03:26pm I really enjoyed this radio program and the article on the website. I loved the exploration of the topic of Kamikaze pilots and their fates during and after the war. It brought a fresh perspective, some fact and lived experience, to the mythical story of the young pilots who were willing to sacrifice their all for the sake of their country and emperor.
While I understand that the producer's father rarely spoke of his wartime experience, it does seem a shame that she didn't get a first hand account from him while he was still alive. Still, a top story.
Aircraft of the were nicknamed 'Nell' by Allied forces during World War II. The World War II Allied names for Japanese aircraft were reporting names, often described as codenames, given by personnel to aircraft during the of World War II.
The names were used by Allied personnel to identify aircraft operated by the Japanese for reporting and descriptive purposes. Generally, men's names were given to, women's names to, and, bird names to, and tree names to.
The use of the names, from their origin in mid-1942, became widespread among Allied forces from early 1943 until the end of the war in 1945. Many subsequent Western histories of the war have continued to use the names. Contents. History During the first year of the Pacific War beginning on 7 December 1941, Allied personnel often struggled to quickly, succinctly, and accurately identify Japanese aircraft encountered in combat. They found the Japanese designation system bewildering and awkward, as it allocated two names to each aircraft. One was the manufacturer's alphanumeric project code, and the other was the official military designation, which consisted of a description of the aircraft plus the year it entered service.
For example, the military designation of the fighter was the 'Navy Type 96 Carrier Fighter'. Type 96 meant that the aircraft had entered service in 2596, equivalent to year 1936.
Other aircraft, however, which had entered service the same year carried the same type number; aircraft such as the and the. Adding to the confusion, the and each had their own different systems for identifying Japanese aircraft. In mid-1942, Captain Frank T. McCoy, a officer from the assigned to the in Australia, set out to devise a simpler method for identifying Japanese aircraft.
Together with Technical Sergeant Francis M. Williams and Corporal Joseph Grattan, McCoy divided the Japanese aircraft into two categories; fighters and everything else. He gave boys' names to the fighters, and the names of girls to the others. Later, training aircraft were named after trees, single engine reconnaissance aircraft were given men's names and multi-engine aircraft of the same type were given women's names. Transports were given girls' names that all began with the letter 'T'. Gliders were given the names of birds. Fighters McCoy's system quickly caught on and spread to other US and Allied units throughout the Pacific theater.
By the end of 1942, all American forces in the Pacific and east Asia had begun using McCoy's system, and nations adopted the system shortly thereafter. The list eventually included 122 names and was used until the end of World War II. To this day, many Western historical accounts of the Pacific War still use McCoy's system to identify Japanese aircraft. In an effort to make the names sound somewhat comical, McCoy gave many of the aircraft ' names, such as 'Zeke' and 'Rufe,' that he had encountered while growing up in. Others were given names of people the creators of the system knew personally; the bomber, with its large gun blisters was named 'Betty' in homage to a busty female friend of Williams. The 'Val' got its name from an sergeant. Not all of McCoy's chosen names caught on.

Many Allied personnel continued calling the 'Zero' instead of McCoy's name of 'Zeke.' Also, McCoy's name for an upgraded version of the Zero, 'Hap,' in tribute to US Army general, had to be changed to 'Hamp' when it was learned that Arnold disapproved.
