Aerial Photograph of US Army Maneuvers in Batangas 1930

Aerial Photograph of United States Army maneuvers in Batangas, 1930.  Image source:  United States National Archive.

The photograph above was taken in August 1930. It has been downloaded from the United States National Archive and is captioned “Batangas, Luzon, P.I. (for Philippine Islands) – Vertical view of Camp of Infantry Battalion (Maneuvers).”

The approximate coordinates given were 13° 45'N 121° 04'E which seem suspicious because these self-same coordinates were given for other pictures taken in apparently different locations.

However, because the United States Army maintained facilities in what was then Batangas-Town, it is possible that the maneuvers stated in the caption were being held in that town.
