History recounts the terrifying reality of the first official Kamikaze mission. As Lieutenant Yukio Seki and his unit took flight in October 1944, their path was sealed by a grim mandate: reach the American fleet or be shot down by their own escort. This gripping narrative details the tense journey across the waves, the evasion of radar, and the explosive final moments of a pilot who became the first to strike the USS St. Lo. It is a chilling look at the tactical desperation and heavy atmosphere of a suicide mission.
