Realizing that his plan to defend the Philippines at the beaches is failing, MacArthur sends word to all field commanders that WPO-3, the old War Plan Orange is in effect. Manila is declared an open city and MacArthur's headquarters is moved to Corregidor.

OOPS!

Of course two weeks into the war, he has no supplies on Bataan, which will have severe consequences since soldiers can't fight without food, medicine, and ammunition...

GreenLanternCorps: In case you forgot, I posted to you on Dec 14, here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2820194/posts?page=15#15 requesting info on from where your understanding of reason for lack of B-17 dispersal in the Philippines came from? I was really hoping to receive a reply.

In the meantime, I pinged you on a post containing an abbreviated timeline I created of events pertaining to the U.S. Army Air Corps in the Philippines between Oct 1941 and Dec 8, 1941 here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2824193/posts?posts?page=16#16. Where specific entries I extracted from Gen. Brerenton's diaries significantly disagree with your understanding of events, please address them.
