Zf016- Asiatic Fleet steaming past Corregidor; this is the description on back of the previous picture and they got it wrong (Corregidor is the left one). This picture was provided by the Army Lt. Chester K. Britt Research Team. John Duresky wrote this when sending these pictures to me: “Trying to collect original wire-photos of some of the earliest shots used in papers at the start of the war. Original photo much better than what got printed here, can actually count the smokestacks now.

Incidentally, the description of the Asiatic fleet in the attached August 1941 paper had to be a real morale booster”.

Zf007. We are in the Fort Mills Engineering Ravine on Corregidor Island. Fort Mills did keep up with the times and built a modern Diesel driven Power Plant. This view is from the west. Immediately to the left in the bushes is a shortcut to the Fort Mills/Corregidor Southroad. I used it today when I came down from Morrison Hill today.
