    Haha the title is misleading. These aren't very fun, but they're certainly interesting.
    The high percentage of death as a Japanese pilot was the most interesting 'fun' fact, though. I wonder if the Japanese realized this? Or maybe they did but they didn't mind it--dying for their country was worth it.

    I don't think they did mind dying for their country. They did view their emperor as the "god". So they were most probably willing to do anything for their country, because nothing else meant much to them
