Attacking Corregidor

 

During the first two weeks of February 1945, the 22nd Bomb Group repeatedly bombed Corregidor Island in Manila Bay to soften it up for a combined airborne and sea invasion on February 16th. This photo shows the results of one of these attacks. Note the large bomb explosion at center.
