Description:
Fujiyama Is Always A Breathtaking Sight, And It Was The First Glimpse Of Japan That We Had Getting Through A Cloudy Blanket Heralding Our Arrival. Here However, We Were Afforded Another View Flying Low In A Turbulent Grey Sky On Our Way South To The Yokota Airbase Near Nagoya. These Huge Flying Boxcars Shuttle North And South, Up And Down Japan In All Kinds Of Weather, Servicing The United States Air Force. We Wore Parachutes, The Only Time This Was Deemed Necessary In The Many Flights We Made. We Touched Down In Good Weather And Were Introduced To General Genda, The Japanese Chief Of Staff.
