1947475Manila 1947. Very good. 24pp. Quarto. Original printed wrappers bound with folding metal fasteners. Small original photo laid in. A fascinating mimeograph guide published by the U.S. Army in the Philippines to assist soldiers and civilian personnel that were being transported back to the United States or to other posts overseas at the end of World War II. The transports all travelled from Manila to Fort Mason in San Francisco or the Oakland Army Base. The guide is quite detailed and like military manuals everywhere sought to foresee all contingencies from detailed information about the types of vessels used as transports their safety procedures American customs allowances and other procedures at the American ports of entry to very specific advice about how to tip ship stewards and advice on dealing with seasickness "far more a disease of the mind than of the body". The final pages contain several forms required for re-entry and a small section listing the "responsibilities" of military personnel on board the transports. With a small photo of a Filipino band watching a transport departing Manila harbor dated June 13 1947 on the verso. Not in OCLC. unknown books
194044229Manila 1940. Letters housed in a file folder attached at top with two prong paper fastener. Age-toning & staining. Fastener rusted. Folder front cover chipped & detached. A VG cache. 52 leaves most with typescript to recto only. ~ 10-1/2" x 8-1/8" <br/><br/>A cache of 40 typed letters and TLs exchanged between the Office of the President of the Philippines and various officers of the U.S. High Commissioner of the Philippines many on official letterhead and some marked "confidential." The letters ordered chronologically chart the negotiations defense concerns and sometimes uneasy power sharing between the two administrations in regards to the rules and regulations governing aerial photography of the islands. Issues discussed include the advisability of allowing aerial photography by outside entities the feasiblity of specifying no-fly zones for aerial photography without interferring with commercial flights enforcement efforts and the powers afforded the two administrations. The majority of the letters expressing the Commonwealth's position are from and signed by Jorge B. Vargas then serving as Executive Secretary to President Manuel Quezon. Later Vargas administered Manila as an open city during the Japanese occupation in 1942 and served in the puppet government of the Second Philippine Republic; following the war he chaired the National Planning Committee served on the board of regents of the University of the Philippines and became the first Filipino on the International Olympic Committee. In 1960 he was awarded the Legion of Honor by the Republic of the Philippines. Signed letters from the U.S. High Commission include several from Major General R. L. Holbrook as well as Colonel/Acting Chief of Staff E. H. DeArmond. From the first letter dated May 25 1937: "under the present prohibitive measures regarding aerial photography embodied in Proclamation No. 485 of the Governor-General dated August 12 1932 and in the Bureau of Aeronautics rules and regulations it is believed that the granting of permission to aviation companies particularly to an aerial photographic company to take pictures will be exceedingly difficult and complicated. This office is studying the advisability of altering the present rules and regulations." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. From November 12 1938: "So long as the Philippine Islands remain United States territory the United States is responsible for their defense and that responsibility at least so far as land operations are concerned devolves upon the Commanding General . . . . To say that the Department Commander is supreme in time of war or grave emergency but that in time of peace his responsibilities are limited to administrative control over United States military personnel and United States military reservations and that in peace time he should not interest himself in control or prevention of activities which may have the gravest consequences in time of war or public emergency is manifestly contradictory." Edward H. DeArmond Colonel FS G.S.C. Acting Chief of Staff. From October 26 1939: "I have the honor to inform you that in an investigation conducted by proper authorities of this Government Mr. B. A. Glover airplane pilot in the emply of Elizalde & Co. was found guilty of violation of the provisions of Proclamation No. 364 of the President of the Philippines in view of which he was suspended as transport pilot for a period of one month from October 18 to November 17 1939 inclusive and warned that repetition of a similar offense in the future will be subject of a more drastic action." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. An interesting cache of material documenting activities of the transitional government of the Philippines just prior to the outbreak of WWII. unknown books

They also show the Immaculate Conception Church with shots of the exterior and detailed views of the silver altar - built in 1595 to 1844 but completely destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. Several other photos evidently portray the album's compiler posing next to an American fighter plane while boiling sea shells in front of his tent etc. <br> <br> The final portion of the album contains photos taken during the operations aboard the USS "Monrovia" and "President Harris" in October-November 1945 including views of Okinawa on the way to China and snapshots of soldiers unloading cargo in the Yellow Sea China before returning to Manila. There are also eight clear views of Manila showing destroyed Japanese cranes and boats in the harbor American army headquarters and a warehouse.
