Bataille du Pacifique:
À la fin 1944, quand la défaite est devenue inéluctable, l'état-major japonais a recruté les premières « unités spéciales d'attaque ». Rien moins que des bombes humaines lancées contre les navires de guerre américains.À défaut de dommages importants, ces jeunes aviateurs délibérément sacrifiés par leur hiérarchie vont provoquer chez l'ennemi une psychose sans précédent.
Les Américains veulent y voir la preuve que les Japonais sont prêts à se battre jusqu'à la mort et se suicider pour l'honneur du pays et de son Empereur. D'où leur conclusion que la capitulation du Japon, en dépit de son extrême faiblesse, pourrait se révéler très coûteuse en vies humaines (américaines)... à moins d'employer la bombe atomique. : Battle of the Pacific: At the end of 1944, when the defeat became unavoidable, the Japanese staff recruited the first "special attack units". Nothing less than human bombs launched against American warships. Without major damage, these young airmen deliberately sacrificed by their hierarchy will cause the enemy an unprecedented psychosis. The Americans want to see evidence that the Japanese are ready to fight to the death and commit suicide for the honor of the country and its Emperor. Hence their conclusion that the surrender of Japan, despite its extreme weakness, could prove very costly in human lives (American) ... unless using the atomic bomb.

------------------
In 1942, the United States was faced with a severe shortage of pilots, so an experimental program to replace males with female pilots was created. The group of female pilots was called the Women Airforce Service Pilots — WASP. Shirley Slade was one of about 1,100 chosen. She primarily flew the Bell P-39 Airacobras and Martin B-26 Marauders.
--------------------------
Shirley passed away on April 26, 2000, as 79 years old.

Although the airborne isn’t my main interest I still have an incredible appreciation for what they did and achieved and hence my little display in my cabinet and also my putting together of my 327th glider infantry market garden mannequin.
