This is the
Betty Bomber used to fly the Japanese Surrender Envoy back to Japan.
I have a friend that was at Ie Shima when
the Japanese came in and he gave me these photos similar to the one on
your web page Cal (he was on a LST like the one in you photo on the beach)
said the planes were painted white with red crosses on them also in the
photos is Lt. Gen. Toroshio Kawabe. Noel Adair

The Japanese Betty Bomber is a beautiful plane.
Its green crosses say, don't shoot us down, we surrender
