Corregidor, Manila Bay, Philippines
February, 1945
" I flew those days spotting gunfire and taking photographs. I believe it was Sims in the rear cockpit that took the photos. After each bombardment, we moseyed
on back to the complete safety of Subic Bay."
"The paratroopers dropping on Corregidor was quite dramatic. There was heavy loss of life as they were sitting ducks as they
floated down. Many Japs were holed up in caves or tunnels and managed to survive the terrific bombardment from aircraft and our ship."
--- Lt. Charles Stewart
