Pilots Flying Occupation
Pictures Reach Hamilton
Field
Hamilton Field, Calif., Sept. 1
(U.R: Four of the first Amer
ican pilots to land in Japan af
ter acceptance of the surrender
terms were on the last lap of
their Japan-to-Washington, D. C.
flight tonight, bearing pictures
of the initial occupation land
ings and the warning that many
many Japanese still had murder
and treachery in their hearts.
The warning to expect only
surface submission from many
of the Japanese came from a
Japanese naval officer in Yoko
hama, they reported. They quot
ed hirn as saying:
"When American forces are
allowed to visit Tokyo, they
should go in groups of 10 or
more and stay together. Other
wise, some may be killed and
some iust disappear."
When they asked him what he
thought of Americans, he said:
"You have wonderful equip
ment but no spirit."
Reyes said the reception of the
crews nf 16 C-47s which made
the first landings on Atsugi air
field was like "an old keystone
comedy."
"We arrived about a half
hour earlier than they expected
us," he said. "The Japa were
at the opposite end of the field.
As our planes came down, they
piled into staff autos and sped
down the field. There were Jap j
officers hanging on to the sides j
of the cars, clutching doors and :
racing to catch cars." j
The Japanese helped unload i
the American planes, but Lackey I
said 'we kept close guard and
no Jap ever was allowed to en
ter a olane alone "
Propellors had been removed
from 'he approximately 150 Jap
anese planes on Atsugi airfield
in compliance with Gen. Mac-
Arthur's orders. The American
P-40s, presumably captured in
China, also were on the field.
Among the 150 interpreters
ready to greet the Americans
was 19-year-old Harold Toaka.
born and educated in Portland,
Ore.
Toaka, who returned to Japan
In 1938, was quoted as saying
the Japanese had not been in
formed of American progress
since the U. S. drive through the
southwest Pacific.
'They were not even told
Manila had been captured," he
said.
