Question

What was the purpose of helmets worn by Kamikaze pilots during World War II?

Answer 1

Because inside the helmet was the communication headset so they could hear the aircraft radio. It also kept their heads warm. Anyone acquainted with aviation or basic physics knows, the pilot's helmet has never been intended to provide protection against a crash. If the plane encounters the landscape too abruptly you're sausage no matter what you're wearing.

Answer 2

They didn't.. They wore bandannas. Bandannas that said 'divine wind'.

Answer 3

Now that I think about it this is where Bin Ladin got his nifty ideals from. I would only imagine they wore them to endure gunshots as they approached their targets.

Answer 4

lol...
