Yasunori Seizo was a Japanese student who joined the Imperial Japanese Navy, and on May 11, 1945 was ordered to fly a kamikaze mission. He led a group of four young men to attack the American Navy. Yasunori crashed his A6M Zero into the aft portion of the flight deck of the USS Bunker Hill, along with his wingman, Kiyoshi Ogawa, he killed 393 Americans-the most devastating suicide attack on America before September 11 attacks. His story is told in Danger's Hour, to be published by Simon & Schuster on Veteran's Day, 2008.
