Japanese Suicide Pilots Fail Against British Pacific Fleet Carriers
Japanese Suicide Pilots Fail Against British Pacific Fleet Carriers.
It has now been revealed that during two months of strikes by ships of the British Pacific Fleet against the Sakishama Islands, Fleet Carriers bore the brunt of the attacks of the Kamikaze Corps.
Then 140 Japanese aircraft were destroyed of damaged but five of the suicide pilots succeeded in diving their planes in the decks of the British carriers. H.N.S. Indefatigable and H.N.S.Victorious were among the ships hit, but only minor damage was caused.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of resilience and triumph amidst the chaos of war. In the midst of World War II, the British Pacific Fleet faced relentless attacks from Japanese suicide pilots, known as Kamikaze Corps. During two months of strikes against the Sakishama Islands, it was the fleet carriers that bore the brunt of these deadly assaults. The image showcases a scene filled with billowing smoke pouring from an aircraft carrier after one such attack by Japanese planes. Despite this devastating blow, within hours, the fire was brought under control and the carrier stood once again fully operational. The H. N. S. Indefatigable and H. N. S. Victorious were among those ships hit but fortunately sustained only minor damage. This photograph serves as a testament to both the bravery and resilience displayed by those serving in Britain's Royal Navy during this tumultuous period in history. It symbolizes their unwavering determination to protect their fleet at all costs. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us remember those who risked their lives for our freedom and honor their sacrifices made on behalf of peace. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in time when courage prevailed over adversity in defense of liberty itself.
