Question on which Fighter Group escorted the Japanese surrender planes ??
The ones with the green crosses.
Was there more than the one escort mission ? different places ?
Thanks Rick

Re: Question on Fighter Group
Tje 421st Night Fighter Squadron provided escort for some portion of the Japanese surrender aircraft that landed on Ie Shima, but I don't know which other squadrons also took part.
