What if Japan had concentrated its kamikaze aircraft in one effort and given pilots freedom to select targets?
Short answerIt could have been considerably more dangerous and might have inflicted much heavier losses on Allied shipping.
NotesConcentrating kamikaze aircraft and allowing pilots to choose their targets could have made the attacks considerably more dangerous. The expected consequence is substantially greater losses among Allied shipping. This is a counterfactual estimate of the effect of concentration and target choice, with no numerical loss forecast.
