推薦コメント

I picked up this book because I am a floatplane pilot (a floatplane is a plane that takes off and lands on water).
The wife of my good friend (also a floatplane pilot) was named Emily.
Emily is the code name given by the Allies to the Imperial Japanese Navy Type 2 Flying Boat.

Although readers of this book would be helped with a bit of aviation knowledge (the book does not explain how airplanes fly, nor how the Type 2 Flying Boat was built and flown), readers will not miss the anguish and dedication Goro Nagamine endured before, during, and after his kamikaze tokko attack.
No, he was not unafraid. No, he did not volunteer. No, he was not killed in action.
He was young, energetic, and full of life. Just like you.

Read an honest story of a young man, 21 years old on 15 August 1945, who at one point was absolutely certain that he would die.
He wanted to serve his country. He also wanted to live.

I hope that after reading this book you will renew your vows to live life to the fullest. Many were denied that right. We owe it to them.
No matter what you feel about war, no matter how you disagree with military operations, you owe it to those who died to learn what they did.
