The Kamikaze Hunters: Terrifying Forms Of War
In the summer of 1945, as Britain celebrated the end of war in Europe, a British naval fleet was very much still doing battle.
The British Pacific Fleet, composed of British Commonwealth naval vessels, saw action against Japan during the Second World War.
One of the largest fleets ever assembled by the Royal Navy, by VJ Day it had four battleships, six fleet aircraft carriers, fifteen smaller aircraft carriers, eleven cruisers, and numerous smaller warships, submarines, and support vessels.
Allied forces alongside the British Pacific Fleet were fighting out in the pacific against the Japanese and their terrifying new weapon, Kamikaze pilots.
A new book has just been published detailing this little-known story from the Second World War.
Kate Wathall was at the launch of 'The Kamikaze Hunters'.
