What the Last Night Was Really Like for Kamikaze Pilots

I remember the way the sky looked that evening—bruised and swollen with clouds that never broke. It had been hot all day, but the wind had picked up as the sun fell behind the barracks. You’d think it would feel different, knowing you wouldn’t see another sunrise. But time doesn’t bend the way you expect it to. It just keeps moving forward, minute by minute, like any other day.

But then you look deeper. You follow the primary sources. You listen to the testimony. And suddenly, you’re no longer dealing with myth or rumor.
