The aide says, "They look something like smoke signals, General." Wainwright responds, "I think that''s MacArthur''s way of telling us that he''s keeping his promise to return to the Philippines." After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked and rapidly overran the Philippines. American forces under General Douglas MacArthur retreated, first to Bataan and then to the island fortress of Corregidor. At President Roosevelt''s order, MacArthur escaped and returned to Australia, vowing, "I shall return," leaving Wainwright in command. The Americans mounted a bombing raid on Japanese installations in the Philippines on April 15, but on May 6, the forces on Corregidor were forced to surrender. The Americans did return, eventually, landing in October 1944. MEDIUM:1 drawing. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1942 April 17. CREATOR: Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist.
