Book: The OHKA "Baka Bomb" Kamikaze of WWII Japan

Dan King is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Seeking support in my ongoing project to interview Japanese WWII pilots to learn the truth about the OHKA "Baka Bomb" kamikaze rocket program.

A donation of $50 will result in a mention in the book.

A donation of $100 will result in a mention in the book, and a personalized signed copy.

I will explain using Japanese resources how it was developed and how the men trained. I will write about the baka bomb pilots, the bomber crews that ferried them to their targets, and the Zero fighters who were assigned to escort them.

I will describe the missions on which they were sent, the losses they inflicted on the US fleet, and the losses they also suffered.

The expenses include one more trip to Japan, hotel, train fare, and meals. Also seek help with editing costs.

The project will have never-before-published photos, maps, and illustrations.

This will be my 5th project to detail and explain the experiences of the Japanese, our former enemy in WWII. The targeted completion date is December 2019.
