Title A name given to the resource Bird's Eye View of Manila Subject The topic of the resource An interesting photo of Manila immediately post war. The back has 1946 handwritten in pencil in the upper left hand corner. There appears to be a US Army motorpool in the lower right of the image with approximately 10 Jeeps, 1 Packard or Buick staff car, and miscellaneous trailers. There is also a convoy of 5 GMC CCKWs, also known as "Jimmy", or G-508 Deuce-and-a-halfs moving down the road. The exact location of this photo and context is unknown, but the significant destruction of the city from the battle of Manila is still readily visible. https://cicmuseum.org/files/original/da32b70afa2fb84e9cc33144e060686d.jpg 65c7c4ef08aff31a26172a74c60520d1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource British Propaganda Leaflet to Italian forces in East Africa (No. 100) Subject The topic of the resource Given the places named in the leaflet it was likely dropped on Italian forces garrisoned in Massawa under Admiral Mario Bonetti. What's particularly interesting is the British claim that they are the only ones maintaining "public order" which could be construed in this context as control over the native Eritrean population. The veiled threat of the leaflet is that unless the Italians surrender, they will be cut off from support and abandoned to fend for themselves against the local population. Description An account of the resource English translation of leaflet text: "Warning! Your retreat continues south from Asmara to Tigray. The war is over, but your commanders, always ready to sacrifice you and your families, pretend to maintain the resistance. We therefore warn you that any movement of organized groups on the Asmara-Massawa and Asmara-Macalle roads will be considered as a hostile movement and will be attacked by our air force. Leave the streets. Wait for our arrival and surrender to us. Remember that today we are the only ones guaranteeing public order in Italian Eastern Africa."

Title A name given to the resource British Propaganda Leaflet to Italian Forces in East Africa (No. 29) Subject The topic of the resource This leaflet was also likely dropped on Italian forces garrisoned at Massawa or another location in Eritrea. It mentions the loss of Kismayo and Mogadishu which was taken by the 11th and 12th African division during February 1941. The content of the leaflet talks of the threat to Italian women and children from continued fighting and would seem to imply one of their colonial strongholds where this would be the case. Description An account of the resource English translation of leaflet text: "To the Italians of East Africa Wishing to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, we invite you to lower your weapons. You are now entirely isolated. Your ships in Kismayo and Mogadishu have been taken. You are stuck in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. The activity of the Abyssinian patriots rapidly spreads to every mile of the advance of our troops. Consider our words carefully, we address you for reasons of humanity. If you continue the desperate struggle you will do nothing but waste useful lives and at the same time expose your women and children to the deprivations and dangers inseparable from war operations."

Title A name given to the resource Curtiss C-46 Commando Subject The topic of the resource This is a photo of a Curtiss C-46 Commando transport aircraft on Missamari (FKA Misamari) airfield in Assam. The aircraft carried drums of gasoline to China and then brought tungsten back as ballast. If for some reason there was no tungsten on the return and the pilot braked too hard the aircraft could "nose over" flipping forward onto the nose and also the front of the engines. This photo shows an aircraft clearly undergoing repairs following a nose over. This was one of the many airfields used for flying "the hump" into China from India in the CBI theater.
