The 11th Airborne Division's Role in the War on Japan
The 11th airborne was going to be used in that invasion but as far as I can find they weren't actually going to air drop them in. All of the guys from the 11th flew in fully armed expecting a trap. And so there weren't any incidents once they landed. Fortunately there was compliance with the surrender terms and a couple of days after they got there, MacArthur landed at that airfield for the signing of the surrender documents on the Missouri.
