¡Tokkotai in to Tachiarai Hikojo Yon Nin No Shogen(PHP Shinsho)

Description
[Machine Translation] In March 1945, Otoarai Airfield (Fukuoka Prefecture) was bombed by B-29s and suffered catastrophic damage because of its importance. Completed in 1919, the airfield was later used as the site of the Army Flying School and a technical training school, and was said to be the best in the East. Boys as young as 15 years old, who had just graduated from National School of Japan, were trained here, some as mechanics, and some as suicide pilots. While the number of people who know about those days is dwindling, Naoki Prize-winning author Ryutaro Abe interviewed four young men who spent their youth at the Otoarai Airfield. The author, who has published many historical novels from ancient to modern times, has now taken the plunge and tackled "The Pacific War" for the first time.
