They're flying in everywhere

During World War II, kamikaze pilots served as human drones, flying explosive-laden planes to target U.S. ships. Unlike modern drones, these pilots were inside the aircraft, facing certain death. U.S. pilots had the advantage of returning home after intercepting these missions. For more, visit PATCHLAB's Skull Kamikaze product page.

Bonsai! Kamikaze pilots were the drones of the Pacific during World War II. Planes packed with explosives on the hunt for U.S. ships. The difference from today: no remote control—the pilot was inside the plane. Well, a unique experience. The US pilots tasked with intercepting them were better off, since they could return home. Beyond the whole story: Skull Kamikaze is available at PATCHLAB.
