Release

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

The film was released theatrically in the United States by Toho International with English subtitles on February 1, 1975. It was released to home video by Combat Home Video in 1988 as Kamikaze with an English-language dub. 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."
