    RAF EXPERIENCES Hugh Cortazzi I Began to Study Japanese As An

    CHAPTER TWELVE RAF EXPERIENCES Hugh Cortazzi I began to study Japanese as an aircraftsman shortly after I joined the RAF in 1943 when I was nineteen. After some fifteen months at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, I was posted to India where, after attending an Officer Cadet Training Unit (OCTU), I was sent to the Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (India) (CSDIC(I)) in Delhi. In August 1945 I was a member of No.5 Mobile Sections of CSDIC(I) which was attached to 14 Army. 14 Army was to provide the main force for the reoccupation of Malaya. In the event the Japanese surrender inter- vened and I arrived in Singapore at the beginning of September in time for the formal Japanese surrender. I was at first on the staff of tactical head- quarters 14 Army. Later as a member of Southeast Asia Translation and Interrogation Centre (SEATIC) my duties (in Singapore, Malaya and Sumatra) included interpreting and helping to arrange the withdrawal of Japanese forces, investigating Japanese army air and naval air organization and history in the war as well as helping to investigate war crimes. I wanted to go to Japan and eventually succeeded in getting a posting to British Commonwealth Air Forces (BCAIR) Headquarters at Iwakuni in June 1946. The journey by air from Singapore to Iwakuni involved flying in a Dakota (DC3) aircraft. The DC3 was the work-horse of air transport in those days. Its seats consisted of canvas benches down either side of the fuselage. I had, of course, to wait until a ‘seat’ was available as I did not have a high priority.
