I have that issue and that is an interesting article. I always liked the cover photo.

The cover is actually what caught my attention... the funny thing is they labeled the soldier a "Bataan rifleman" but it's actually a soldier from the 1st Filipino Infantry being formed at that time in the US. I bought the magazine for the cover but found many interesting reads inside the magazine.
Aside form the sighting article, here's another good read:
