I pulled this pic from my collection to share with you all. It's pretty cool. I'll let the description on the back of the photo tell you a little about the scene. The back caption: Minesweepers clear the path for other warships to move up closer to Corregidor.Its a very interesting view. The plane seems to be a bi-plane. If anyone knows exactly what that plane is please let me know. Also, what are we looking at from a geological standpoint? Enjoy Dan Attachments:

i believe a Grumman J2F Duck, hard to tell which variant as there are several.

Hey Guys....Is the aircraft, depicted in the photo, part of the compliment of the USS Ranger(CV-4) ? Plane (Amphib) Number 6? That's gotta be the letter "A" hidden behind the strut on the port wing, methinks.

HI, looks like the aircraft might be a SOC Seagull, they were spotters carried on most US Light and Heavy cruisers. The struts are different than the Duck. The model shows the struts better.... Just my newbee 2cents worth.

Hi Dan, That is definitely Mount Mariveles at the top right so the land is Bataan. The plane is flying off Corregidor’s north coast which is out of sight to the left. Has the “little one50” arrived yet?

Thanks for the posts guys.
I could be writing this from Corregidor today, but I'm at home still waiting for little "one50" about 2 more weeks I think...You all will be sure to hear about it
Yesterday I mentioned to my wife that we would be looking over Manila Bay this week if the little one was not on the map. She reassured me that we will make it there some time, now with another passenger ;D
