The Japanese were instructed to paint their planes white and mark them with dark green crosses for the flight from Tokyo to Ie Jima, just off Okinawa. Once at Ie Jima, the delegation, led by Japanese Imperial Army Vice Chief of Staff Lt General Torashiro Kawabe, transferred to a USAAF C-54 Skymaster for the flight to Manila, where they would meet with Douglas MacArthur. They flew back to Ie Jima the next day and then on to Tokyo. The Japanese flight crews were housed at Ie Jima overnight.
