SUMMARY:History Presentation and F3-A Corsair Flight Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Okinawa: The Kamikaze Threat \nSaturday\, July 30th \nMuseum Opens at 8:00AM—Presentation Starts at 9:30 \n  \nAs the tide of war turned against Imperial Japan\, the need for a large base from which to launch a final assault on the Japanese home islands arose. U.S. military planners identified Okinawa as the base of operations for the assault. To secure Okinawa\, the U.S. launched the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific theater of World War II. \nOn April 1\, 1945\, the U.S. 10th Army\, a force of over 183\,000 soldiers\, marines and sailors\, faced off against a Japanese defense force of 116\,000 Japanese and Okinawan defenders. A U.S. naval armada of 261 ships started the assault\, along with over 3\,000 military aircraft of all types. Within days of the initial assault\, it became evident that the largest threat to the Allied invasion force was the Japanese Kamikaze\, or “Divine Wind”\, aircraft piloted by Japanese aviators who would intentionally crash into ships and other high value targets on a suicide mission. \nMuseum docent and U.S. Marine Corps aviation veteran Arnie Easterly will describe the origins and tactical deployment of this desperate but extremely effective suicide program launched against the Allied armada. Also discussed will be the U.S. responses to the Kamikaze\, including the use of the Marines’ Vought F4U Corsair. \nThe presentation will be followed by a flight demonstration of the museum’s F3A Corsair\, weather permitting. \n8:00 am Doors Open \n9:30 am Presentation \n10:00 am Walk-Around\, Special Cockpit Photo Opportunity\, and Start-Up \n10:30 am Flight Demonstration \nStandard admission prices are in effect.
