“BACK FROM BATAAN -- Marking the historic fruition of his -- and the nations’ -- long ascend up the road of victory from the dark days of Bataan and Corregidor, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur opens the surrender ceremony aboard the USS MISSOURI in Tokyo Bay  on September 2, 1945. Behind him are the Allied signatories to the document”.

“IT’S A FAR CRY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE -- 
The Japs once boasted they’d dictate peace terms in the White House in Washington, D.C. Time and Allied might revised their estimate on September 2, 1945, 
the world listened and photographers from Allied nations recorded the event as Jap Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu signed for his Emperor a formal document of surrender aboard the Navy battleship USS MISSOURI. An assistant lends Shigemitsu a hand as General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, USA, Supreme Commander for the Allies, broadcasts the ceremonies. 

This official U.S. Navy Photograph was flown directly 
from Japan to Washington, D.C., arriving on 
September 3, 1945”.
