Walking along with a friend, Bud Hoffman, we met, talked and were invited into the home of a former Kamikazi pilot. He had been injured, but survived the war. He showed us photos of himself with his comrades and with his plane. We sat on a tatami mat, drank his saki and our scotch and talked for a few hours. What an interesting experience. He was so cordial and invited us back, but I never did return. This is in regards to your 'Wings of Defeat' documentary.
