Nice!
but... how is this possible?:

I'm glad that this is a authentic Zero and not a T-6 in disguise. Apparently from what I've read, a lot of the Kamikaze pilots were pressed into this service, unwilling volunteers, often screaming "Mother" as they took their final plunge into a target.
For those that have seen Empire Of The Sun, the main Character befriends a Japanese soldier who was turned into a Kamikaze pilot, but never managed to go on a mission.
