Tachiarai Army Flight School Graduation Commemorative Watch Fobs/太刀洗陸軍飛行学校卒業記念章

The Tachiarai Army Flight School opened in 1940 and trained many pilots who took part in kamikaze operations in the last year of the war. The Tachiarai Flight School had a branch school in Chiran (Kagoshima Prefecture), where many Army pilots departed to make suicide attacks on the American fleet near Okinawa. Operations at Tachiarai came to an end when American B-29s destroyed the base on March 27, 1945.​
