My Dad was a Carrier Pilot at Okinawa -- I believe off the Hornet --VF-17 -Hellcats.
He never said much --except That many Kamikaze planes were not painted -- and the small ships caught hell when hit. Him and his buddies rarely spoke about it and to a man would say the heros were the guys who did not make it . Oh and if you asked any of em --they had no problem with the A bomb --He often said he figured he might of bought it if we invaded.
