AI notes: On December 10, 1941, just two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces launched air raids on Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines. This was part of Japan’s broader strategy to quickly seize control of the Philippines, then an American territory. On that day, Japanese bombers attacked Clark Field and other military installations, destroying much of the U.S. Far East Air Force on the ground. The strikes severely weakened American and Filipino air capabilities, paving the way for a land invasion. These early attacks marked the beginning of the Battle of the Philippines (1941–1942).
