MacArthur's plans to invade the Philippines.
This is a 1943 Lord pictorial map of East Asia and the Southwest Pacific during World War II (1939 - 1945). Japanese flags and black ink mark zone of Japanese occupation, including eastern China, Korea, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. A Chinese Nationalist flag marks China, while British and American flags appear in New Guinea, Australia, and the Solomon Islands. A red and white arrow pierces through the Japanese defensive 'ring' and illustrates General Douglas MacArthur's assault on the Philippines. A large portrait of MacArthur (1880 - 1964) in his trademark khaki uniform overlooking the map dominates the right side of the sheet. Text along the bottom exalts MacArthur and Lord Louis Mountbatten's (1900 - 1979) proposed 'pincer movement' to push the Japanese back to the Home Islands.Publication History and Census
