Attack Squadron! (太平洋の翼, Taiheiyō no Tsubasa, transl. "Wings of the Pacific") is a 1963 Japanese film directed by Shue Matsubayashi.[1] The film is about Lt. Colonel Senda (Toshiro Mifune) who commands three fighter squadrons, eventually being dominated by Allied forces in June 1944.[1]

Release

Attack Squadron! was released in Japan on 3 January 1963 where it was distributed by Toho.[1] The film was Toho's second highest-grossing film of the year, and the 9th highest grossing domestic film production in Japan in 1963.[1]

The film was released theatrically in the United States by Toho International with English subtitles on February 1, 1975.[1] It was released to home video by Combat Home Video in 1988 as Kamikaze with an English-language dub.[1] Stuart Galbraith IV commented on this release, stating that it was panned-and-scanned with "some of the wore telecine work ever done; the entire film appears to have been mastered showing only the extreme left side of the image."[1]

gollark: They have to write code which works *very fast* (speed is such an issue that there are special expensive high-clocked xeon CPUs available, or at least were), and can throw tons of money at 1337 programmers.
