Macarthur. in effect, had
determined TO duplicate ex-
sctly the strategy by which
superior enemy numbers, three
years before, had forced him
TO evacuate Manila and take
up final defensive stand on
Bataan and Corregidor.
There was. of course, n
twofold purpose In landing
at Ungayen.
Macarthur desired ad-
vanced air bases between
Manila and Formosa to sever
the enemys lines of air
supply and evacuation, and
he wanted TO have his bonn
bardment forces within easy
range of Japanese shipping
along the China coast.

almost foolproof when low
