The First Kamikaze Attacks (Yank Magazine, 1945)

A two page magazine article about U.S.S. Newcombe (DD-586), a destroyer which enjoyed the dubious distinction of being the first American vessel to suffer the very first Kamikaze attacks of the war (April 6, 1945: off Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands):

"Then the plane shot past them, ripped through the gun mount and shattered itself against the afterstack. There was a blinding flash. The "Newcombe" shuddered and rolled heavily to starboard."

Kamikaze Pilot Interviewed (Yank, 1945)

Yank correspondent Robert MacMillan got one of the very few interviews with a Japanese Kamikaze pilot, Norio Okamoto, and allowed his readers to gain an understanding as to how the Kamikaze Corps operated:

"Okomoto's story took all the wind -the Divine Wind - out of the Kamikaze sails. Event the interpreter, a Japanese civilian, was surprised. He had worked for radio Tokyo and while he knew a lot of the propaganda stories were ridiculous, he had believed the Kamikaze legend."
