On 17 August 1945, Japanese Ace Saburo Sakai (flying his favorite airplane, a "Zero") and some other pilots shot down a US B-32 Dominator that had taken off for a reconnaissance mission from Iwo Jima. Because the surrender terms had been accepted by Japan on the 15th of August, the downed aircraft was officially listed as an "operational loss"; all of the B-32 crewmen were rescued.
