**Warning - This video contains discussions about combat events that took place during World War II, specifically aviators who carried out suicide attacks. Sensitive viewers should be advised.** In this episode of CAF Warbird Tube, we explore the haunting legacy of the kamikaze airfields in Kyushu, Japan. These airfields served as the launch points for many of the kamikaze missions during the final months of World War II, where pilots made the ultimate sacrifice in a desperate bid to turn the tide of the war. Our special guest, Nathan Huegen, Vice President of Education at the Commemorative Air Force, will join us to discuss these airfields' history, strategy, and human stories. Together, we’ll discuss their role in Japan’s war effort and the Allied response and how these sites remind us of the sacrifices and complexities of war.
