MacArthur Returns to the Philippines at Leyte
Gen Douglas MacArthur lands on Leyte as part of a bold Leyte operation fulfilling his vow to return. He travels with Filipino President Osmena and Brig. Gen. Romulo aboard a Briston Nashville, amid massive Allied naval air power. He voices confidence in defeating Japanese troops and splitting their forces, citing the island’s limited defenders and the 13th Division’s role in Bataan.
