The Japanese began building an airbase on Shemya (I've been there) about 30 mile to the east. The Americans finished the base, and it was packed with P-38's and B-24's. There were 20,000 GIs there. They bombed Honshu around the clock. The suicide rate among the GIs was quite high. There's girl behind every tree. There are no trees.
I heard about Shemya back in the 1980s, and they still referred to “the girl behind every tree.”
