This is an interesting story with a group of fascinating pictures of
the specially painted G4M Bettys that were used to ferry the Japanese
officials from Tokyo to the island of Iejima where they then boarded
C-54s and flew to meet MacArthur in Manila.

"So fraught with malice was the phrase 'enemy of the people,' that even Nikita
Khrushchev forbade its use, telling the Soviet Communist Party that the phrase
had been introduced by Stalin for the purpose of 'annihilating such individuals'
who disagreed with the supreme leader."
