This high-spirited set of vintage New Year’s cards celebrates the historic flight of the Kamikaze, a Mitsubishi Ki-15 aircraft that became the first Japanese-built plane to fly from Japan to Europe. Sponsored by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper and piloted by Masaaki Iinuma (who came to be known as “the Japanese Lindbergh”), the Kamikaze made its momentous 51-hour flight from Tokyo to London in April 1937. The New Year’s cards were printed later that year by Tanaka & Co. (the artist is unknown).

Interesting to see that Kamikaze wasn't always associated with planes being used as the bombs themselves.

if you read the paragraph with the pix it mentions that these were to celebrate the first flight from tokyo to london by a japanese air craft. so there's your link.

also remember that this is 1937 when the world war didnt start till a few years later.

Ah cool, I read somewhere that the only people eligible to be kamikaze pilots were ones with no family. In one family, the wife had killed her children and herself just so that her husband could die for Japan and bring honor to there family and the spirit world.

Hard to bask in honor when you are dead.
