They were discovered by American titers on June 16. 1942 -seven days after the Japanese raided Dutch Harbor. It war. presumed that they landed on Kiska. Attu and Agattu after being surprised at the American aerial strength at Dutch Harbor, their real objective. The enemy finally abandoned Agattu. but held Attu for nearly a year. From Dutch Harbor the Americans attacked Kiska with navy PH6 flying boats, but it was a long haul and too far away for preinvasion bonbing. In September of last year, our forces occupied the Andreanof Islands about halfway between Dutch Harbor and Kiska. From there they were able to step up their attack on the Japanese. But the American move which sealed the f»’» of the Japanese invader came in February of this year. At that time the Yanks took Amchftka island, only 75 miles east of Kiska From Amchitka. American bombers were able to bit Kiska regularly If the w. 'her permitted. Often they attacked as many as 15 times a day. On May 11. the Americans flanked the enemy on Kiska and Invaded Attu. By May 30 all Japanese opposition on Attu had been overcome. The fall of Attu left the Japanese on Kiska In a precarious position Our air and naval forces combined to keep the enemy garrison under constant attack. Dying July alone, our fliers carried out Cl raids on the Japs and our laittleships shelled the Island eight times. Kiska can easily be converted into a jumping off place for American raids on the Japanese base at Paramushiru. north of Japan proper The Japanese built a tighter plane airffeld. a submarine base, and a weather and radio station on Kiska. Kiska harTJor on the south side of the Island Is larger than Pearl Harbor and can <belter a sizeable fleet. Thus. Japan has been forced to give np another part of her stole i empire in the Pacific. - * The one who Is dependable and reliable U th* first one hired.
