I read about Attu and Kiska. There was tough fighting in very harsh conditions. The Japanese were able to withdraw their forces from Kiska pretty much intact. The Aleutian’s were Mostly a diversion for the battle of Midway. As a matter of fact I believe it was on or Akutan Island where the first Japanese Zero crashed pretty much intact killing the pilot. The plane was repaired by the US and used to gain knowledge of the strong points and weaknesses of the Zero. I’m going to read that book too thank you.
Actually the first Zero to fall intact into allied hands was in China but before Americans could come get the plane, an over exuberant Chinese pilot decided he had to have a go at it and proceeded to crash and destroy it.
