Title
'MacArthur Returns' booklet
Description
A paper booklet issued by the Allied Forces during World War II for Filipinos after the return of General Douglas MacArthur and the Filipino President, Sergio Osmena, in 1944. The booklet was probably airdropped on the Philippines soon after General MacArthur and President Osmena landed in October, 1944. It features pictures of General MacArthur arriving in the Philippine Islands. This is one item from a scrapbook of propaganda leaflets and related materials that was compiled by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area during World War II. The scrapbook belonged to Colonel Karl F. Baldwin of the United States Army, who helped establish the propaganda program. It contains approximately 200 pieces of propaganda, mostly in Japanese, that were intended for distribution in the Philippines, Japan, and other nearby areas.
