This is the end of WW2, now the war ends and the men must be inspected by the general. It's now a peace time military and we must look real sharp for a return home. As for the island of Ie Shima, we still have a very big base there today.

This is where the Betty bombers came in. They were painted white and had large green crosses painted on them. They were to fly to the island of Ie Shima to bring the surrender delegation and the surrender papers to the Allied forces there. But it wasn't just a normal flight. The few remaining Jap Zeros were scrambled and were ordered to shoot the Betty Bombers down. The Betty Bomber pilots knew that this would happen so they flew North East instead of South East which would have been the most direct course. Mean while the American forces sent up a squadron of B-25 Mitchell's and P-38 Lightning's to intercept the Japanese Betty Bombers and escort them safely to Ie Shima. |

Japanese Propaganda Art Exhibit Propaganda Art was used by forces on all sides in WW2 as well as all wars in history. This kind of art gave pride to the citizens of those countries who produced it and gave a unity in support of the wars. This exhibit is an excellent example of Japanese Propaganda art. |
