Title: Surrender of Japan, 1945
Description: Crewmen of two specially-marked Mitsubishi G4M-1 (Betty) aircraft which brought envoys from Japan to Ie Shima, Ryukyu Islands, on 19 August 1945. The delegation was there transferred to a USAAF C-54 and flown to Manila, where they received instructions concerning the surrender and occupation. One of the Japanese planes is faintly visible behind these men. Courtesy of Edward Zahler, 1975. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
