The single most effective air weapon developed by the Japanese was the suicide plane. So is the conclusion of the postwar American study on Japanese air power. Though the legend of Shimpu, better known as Kamikaze, the divine wind, is well known for the aerial attacks, Kamikaze was more. It was air, sea and land, employing suicide submarines, tanks, frogmen, and infantry charging at tanks with lunge mines.
