David Hinkins鈥� father died a war hero, he put his life on the line to save the lives of his shipmates in the face of a terrifying suicide mission by Japanese kamikaze pilots who were attacking his ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Seventy years later, David travelled to Japan to make peace with Muneyoshi Kuroshi, the brother of the pilot who killed his father.

He said it was a 鈥渧ery emotional鈥� experience and strange to step foot in a 鈥渓and of people that had previously been enemies鈥�.

Muneyoshi鈥檚 brother wrote a poem before he took off on the plane that killed him and David鈥檚 father, after he read it aloud David said 鈥渋t鈥檚 a moment I鈥檒l always remember鈥� because 鈥渆verybody was in tears鈥�.
