Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Gathers and publishes very clearly many of the more famous official US Army and Navy photographs of World War II in the Philippines. Includes a few photographs of the Philippine defense campaign (including a few photographs captured from the Japanese), of Filipino guerrillas. Most of the photographs are from the liberation campaign, generally divided into naval and land battles. A few photographs are not Philippine-related: a number on Pearl Harbor, and a few mislabeled photos (for example, on p. 71 there is a misplaced photo of the D-Day landings in Normandy ;the same page also has a photo of a landing in the South Pacific; the next page has a photo of the US landing on Guam, but all are not identified as such. There are other cases). - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
