History of the ALEUTIAN ISLANDS 1942-1943 Battle Streamer
In June 1942, Japanese forces targeted Dutch Harbor during the Battle of Midway, prompting the Eleventh Air Force led by Col. Lionel H. Dunlap to defend the Aleutian Islands. P-40 pilots engaged in aerial combat, downing the first Japanese aircraft in the region. Despite challenging conditions, the Eleventh Air Force conducted bombing raids from various islands, including Amchitka, leading to the successful landing of the Army's 7th Infantry Division on Attu. The liberation of the Aleutian Islands continued with aerial raids on Japanese positions in the Kurile Islands, showcasing the valor and resilience of the Eleventh Air Force in this crucial chapter of World War II.
