General Wainwright arrives in Yokohama, 31 August 1945

            As far as I know these are never seen before amateur photos of General Jonathan M. Wainwright's arrival in Yokohama to meet with General MacArthur, following his release from a POW camp in Manchuria.

I can not find any other photos of him arriving in Yokohama, only photos of him with General MacArthur.

In the background of one photo is a transport variant of a B-17 bomber, designated C-108. Two of the four C-108 produced were used by MacArthur as VIP transports, which leads me to believe that these photos are indeed from Wainwrights meeting with MacArthur in Yokohama.

The clothes Wainwright wears also match those he wears when he was photographed with MacArthur.
