| I was a member of the 38th Bomb Group (B-25's)
on Yontan Air Strip Okinawa when the peace delegation arrived and to the
best of my recollection those Betty's had green crosses painted on them.
(A sloppy green paint job if I remember). I have a picture of the Japanese
peace party lead by Lt. Gen. Kawabe (vice-Chief of Staff )leading the 16
member peace party as they are getting ready to board a C-54.
