It began with the flight in the Pan American Dixie Clipper that made FDR the first President to fly while in office. At the heavily guarded ten-day conference the two leaders and their staffs met to plan the next stage of the war, and the President declared that the terms for ending the conflict would be the "Unconditional Surrender" of Germany, Italy and Japan.
