Ugaki and Yamamoto were traveling in separate Mitsubishi G4M bombers when both aircraft were shot down on 18 April 1943 over Bougainville in the Solomon Islands, in what the United States named "Operation Vengeance". Yamamoto′s aircraft crashed in the jungle, while Ugaki′s fell into the sea at high speed. He was one of three survivors, the others being the bomber's pilot Hayashi and another staff officer, Kitamura.
