英语词汇kamikaze的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

kamikaze. Toward the end of World War II improved de- fenses and better U.S. aircraft made it difficult for Japanese planes to get close to U.S. ships and bomb or strafe them. Ka- mikaze planes on suicidal missions were employed as a last re- sort. The planes, heavily loaded with explosives, were flown in mass formations and crashed into enemy ships. Scores of ships were sunk or disabled by this suicidal tactic. The planes and their pilots took their names from the kamikaze, or “wind of the gods” of 1281 that had wrecked a Mongol fleet invading Japan.
