The Divine Wind-Origins and Deployment of the Kamikaze-With Jon Parshall-Episode 424
This week Seth, Bill and, good buddy Jon Parshall delve into the origin and deployment of the Kamikaze. The guys take a look at the tactic's origins, which date as far back as Pearl Harbor, and really dive deep into how, exactly, did the Japanese get to that point. Digging deeper, the team gets into the whole myth that every Kamikaze pilot was a volunteer...to paraphrase Oddball--"No, baby they weren't." As if that wasn't enough, the team gets into the US Navy's answer to the threat in the development of fleet air defense and the deployment of the Big Blue Blanket. Join us for this absolutely fascinating off-the-cuff episode as the guys just riff on the whole kamikaze ordeal.

This week Seth, Bill and good buddy Jon Parshall tackle the story of the Japanese battleship Yamato and her final sortie. The team gets into the beginnings of the operation and how the idea was formed in the heads of the upper echelons of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and then get deep into the dissension within the ranks of those assigned to take part in the death ride. Then Seth, Jon and, Bill go blow by blow in the story of Yamato, Yahagi and, all their fellow consort's final struggle as they fall victim to wave after wave of American Naval aircraft from Mitscher's Task Force 58.
