, campaign during the regular meeting of the Salem Lions Club
Thursday ait the Hotel Marion. 1
; Sergeant Mc Wain's outfit, the
um air xorce, was assigned Ui
take photographs of the opera-;
tions preceding and during the
Initial landings on Bataan and

tention to; the paratroops who
Were to jump onto the island of
' Corregidor.; -
After taking shots of the pre
invasion bombardment of Bataan
j by the squadrons of B-24's, Serge
ant McWain then headed for Cor
regidor. "The whole operation
looked like) a three ring circus
. he said. The parachute troops
were being; unloaded onto the is
land by the troop carrier planes,
at the same time the navy was
blasting away at the Jap installa
tions, while the air corps ' planes
were bombarding and strafing
parts of the island. i .
He thought that the subsequent
landing could be made quite eas
ily after the terrific pounding the
island took, but to his surprise
. and discomfort there were still
many , live Japanese troops left to
make things hot. for the landing
, troops.- Evidence of splendid
training and subsequent allied co
ordination between units charao
; terized the whole operation the
Salem sergeant emphasized. He
concluded his detailed account of
. what Jiappns during a combined
air and sea borne invasion, and
.. played a piano selection, Chopin's
" Polonaise, j . m ' i
Two veterans, both former
prisoners of the Japs in the Phil
ippines, were unable to appear
