I have the actual copy of the '86 NG. Its one of my prized possessions. i got a chance to meet with jim Black and Al McGrew. The photo showing the cutting of Battery Morrison was a staged scene for the article according to Jim Black.

I too have a copy of that issue. I had been given Al McGrew's name a few months earlier, and after the issue came out I called him and we chatted for over an hour. Over Labor Day that year I visited him at his home for a day and a half. He had a very large collection of video, slides and archival photos that we spent hours perusing. We even burned out his slide projector light bulb! I told him I would like to go with him the next time he went to Corregidor. I think he thought I would blow him off like so many others did when the time came to fish, or cut bait; but, the next time we met was at LAX to catch our flight. Al was a great guy. I miss him.
