Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmet's?
Answers:
To keep from freezing. The helmets of that era were made of fur-lined leather and were only to keep warm. The aircraft had no climate control systems.
Contrary to what most posters have said, those helmets did not have radio systems in them. They were little more than hats.
They were helmets due to current health and saftey requirments!
old dull question
So they could carry out their mission
They wanted to get to where they were assigned to hit. A helmet increased the odds of getting there.
in case they crash on the way to their target.
to keep the divine wind from hurting there eyes..
i wanted to know that!i think its so they don't bang there heads and get knocked out?
Kamikaze pilots were not volunteers, they were forced into it by the government. I dont know the answer to your question. That is like asking if snakes get jock itch.
You mean kamikaze sucide bombers?
When did they become pilots?
When they crash,they want to represent their country well and look their best.
. . . they wore helmets 'cos they didn't know that their plane was remote controlled - and they certainly didn't know that they were kamikaze pilots! . . .
The helmet housed headphones and microphone for the radio. The pilot wore his helmet to receive orders on specific target and to report back Intel.
Because the vast majority of them are foreign and completely stupid!!
It was part of the official Japanese Air Force uniform. If they didn't wear them, they'd be suspended from flying duty, or could lose their weekend pass privileges.
I knew a jewish kamikaze pilot who crashed his plane in his brother's scrapyard.
Then there was the Irish pilot who joined the kamikaze squadron when he heard they only had to fly one mission instead of the normal twenty five .
The comms system was in the helmet, so they should receive orders on what ship to hit once they reach the fleet. Also, they needed to survive until they got to the enemy fleet.
they were making a fashion statement by wearing there fur lines helmuts.
