October 20, 1944

I'm overly excited today I'm finally fulfilling what I vowed to return to and that is the Philippines. As you can probably remember my post of the year in 1942 I had lost the islands to the Japanese Navy and Air Force and now the American Air Force is letting me to use there planes and ships to launch a full scale invasion on the Philippine islands. We attacked until the rainy season ended on the island which I should have known when it was after living on the Philippines for nearly a decade. After we seized the island and the rainy season ended, I made sure the engineers made strategic airfields as soon as possible.
