| The monument for Ernie Pyle is located at the cemetery on the island of Ie Shima. Ie Shima is located just a few miles northwest of the island of Okinawa, on the way to Japan. The island is still the location of a huge marine air base with the three original runways still in operation. Ie Shima is home to the Harrier Jump jet built by the British.

There was an interesting story about the Japanese surrender which involved the Betty Bombers. The surrender wasn't just the emperor waving a white flag and calling it quits. It wasn't just the signing of the surrender papers on the USS Missouri. There was a long story behind the Japanese surrender and a big part of aviation history.
