WW2 Era Postcard written by Japanese Student Pilot
Front side: a light bomber flying over the heavy sky.
Back side : "From Mr. Shiraishi, in Nakanishi-unit under Izumo-unit of Saitama Pref. Imperial Japanese Air Academy student corps, to his friend"
"I feel deep regret on four times of outrage by American army. Was your family all right? Thank you for your help during my vacation. My section announced that I become a pilot this time. I’m training the special techniques to defeat America and Britain, and expecting the day of revenge."
The “outrage” he was speaking of was likely talking about American Air raids.

There is no “special Technique”. There is only “Technique”. So, it does not mean Kamikaze.

Thanks for the correction. Someone else translated it as I don’t speak or read Japanese. Other than the “special “ is the translation accurate?Akira Takizawa wrote: ↑25 Nov 2022, 11:02There is no “special Technique”. There is only “Technique”. So, it does not mean Kamikaze.
