Signal Corps |
(L. to R.) 1st Sgt Albert
Baldwin, S/Sgt Charles McCurry, Bill McDonald, Marion Boone, Paul
Narrow, Ralph Iverson. They were the third stick in plane #22, "F"
Company's first plane. Baldwin was to jumpmaster the third pass
over Corregidor.
The
photo is one of a series taken on the ground at Hill Strip,
Mindoro
by Signal Corps photographer
Yednick, who was the 8th man in the
stick.
However, on
the 2nd pass, the plane's port engine was hit and it had to head for
safety over Bataan, where the men jumped to safety. They arrived the next day by
sea. Remarkably, the photo of a group who did not jump became one of the
most widely publicized photos of the airborne invasion. The plane flew
back to Mindoro |
