* Clark Air Base - Field captured

The front page has nice banner headline: "M'ARTHUR WINS CLARK FIELD" with subheads. (see images) Nice for display. Related map is on page 4.
Complete with 28 pages, light toning at the margins, some small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
wikipedia notes: During the war, Allied prisoners on the Bataan Death March passed by the main gate of Clark Air Base as they followed the railway tracks north towards Camp O'Donnell. During October through January 1945 American air raids damaged or destroyed over 1500 Japanese aircraft. In January, American forces regained possession of Clark Field after three months of fierce fighting to liberate the Philippines. It was immediately returned to U.S. Army Air Forces control.
