Abstract

A las 7.20 de la mañana del 25 de octubre de 1944, con el sol naciente -la bandera de combate del arma aérea nipona-, el teniente Yukio Seki, de 23 años, despegó de su base de Malacat (Manila).Antes de comandar su escuadrilla por última vez, guardó un mechón de su pelo en un relicario para su joven esposa -era recién casado-, a la que también escribió unas líneas, casi versos, plenas de ese lirismo japonés. En ellas le anunciaba que pronto iba a «esparcirse».Las otras dos misivas del militar fueron para sus padres. Seki sabía que su misión era suicida. Ésas fueron las órdenes, que aceptó con estoicismo.
