 The book, Kamikaze, represents a pictorial review of the Japanese OKA Suicide Flying Bomb, as well as, the German Bachem Ba 349A "Natter" and FZG-76 "Reichenberg" piloted aircraft.  In many respects, the design and development of these three aircraft reflected the very real dire straights the Japanese and Germans found themselves in as the mid-point of the war, 1943, ended.  By 1944, it was very apparent that the Allies,, with the American Arsenal Of Democracy behind them were slowly but surely gaining the upper hand due to the shear volume of men and materials they could bring to bare.  To answer this Allied advantage, the Japanese resorted to Kamikaze attacks with both conventional and later purpose-built aircraft like the OKA flying bomb.  While the thought of manned suicide missions was distastful to the Germans, they nevertheless developed both the "Natter" which was a vertically launched point defense fighter and the manned  FZG-76 "Reichenberg" aircraft which was a suicide verion of the  infamous V-1 "buzz-bomb".  Both the "Natter" and "Reichenberg" were developed and tested but were never deployed in actual aerial combat before World War II ended.  This book includes the following features: 1) 80 vintage black and white photographs; 2) 5 black and white illustrations and 3) 12 color aircraft illustrations.  This book is 50 pages and is in excellent condition.  This book was produced by the Aeronautical Staff of Aero Publishers, Inc. with Edward T. Malone (technical advice) and Uwe Feist (scaled drawings).  Edition published in 1966.
