About this listen

In May 1945, with victory in Europe established, the war was all but over. But on the other side of the world, the Allies were still engaged in a bitter struggle to control the Pacific. And it was then that the Japanese unleashed a terrible new form of warfare: the suicide pilots, or kamikaze.

A story of courage, The Kamikaze Hunters is a gripping account of how a few brave men helped to ensure peace.

A Fascinating WW2 Fleet Air Arm Insight.

Brilliant book about the FAA in WW2 and the lives of its young pilots. Top read.

Interesting and informative.

A long overdue history of the British Pacific Fleet. I found the chapter on the Palembang airstrikes enthralling. Well worth the investment in time to listen to.

Good narration but low on detail of the overall kamikaze problem.

This story is very well narrated but not a lot of the story is actually about the Kamikaze problem. Gets a bit boring in places and not true to title if one was expecting a book centred on the events around dealing with the Japanese suicide attacks.
