Default FYI

Kanehoe MCB and Air station is on the other side of the Island. There is a Mountain range that separates that side from Pearl (where I work). As far as the first attack from a Kamikaze dedicated A/C was 27 Oct 1944 on an Australian CA. Nov 1944 was the first attack by a Kaiten. There were a number of incidents of wounded pilots flying there critically hit A/C into targets of opportunity.
