As usual, you are wrong. He fled on a PT boat from Luzon to Macajalar Bay on Mindanao, with his wife and baby and child's amah (leaving U.S. nurses and staff officers behind to be killed). From Mindanao he fled to Australia (left the Philippines) in two Flying Fortresses. One more than needed.(Morison, v.3, p. 21.) There is a great deal of evidence that MacArthur, a real mama's boy, struggled life-long against being thought a physical coward. He was, on the whole, very successful, but he was very careful to avoid gunfire. He never visited the frontlines. He always preempted at least a cruiser for his command ship. No one he abandoned in the Philippines has ever forgiven him for evacuating his personal servants instead of American women.
