Graduate Los Angeles College of Optometry and Optlialmology Gldsses Pitted Lenses Ground The designers of these suicide planes reportedly make certain that once a pilot takes off his life is forfeit, for the huge load of explosive he carries is rigged to explode if the plane or any part of it strikes any object. The senseless “Banzai” charges practiced by the Japanese infantry in many Pacific localities attest the fact that the Nipponese can be incited to suicidal undertakings, but in planning the so-called Kamikaze Corps the Tokyo warlords evidently desired that no opportunity be provided for turning back. Obviously a man locked in a plane without parachute or landing wheels, with a ton of high explosives set to detonate on any impact gives 1p thought of return- ing alive.
