    OK here are some clues:

    1. The final mission of WWII was launched from here. Not the atomic bonbs, but a mission that went
    weeks later and was key in forcing the Japanese surrender.


    2. Low on fuel and trying to make a one-shot landing on a field atop a 500-foot high plateau, many planes simply hit the side of the island.

    3. See Google Earth image.


    To answer correctly, what is the island and what type of aircraft is referred to in #2?
