In June 1942, Japanese forces attacked the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, taking control of Attu and Kiska to defend Japan’s northern territories, dominate the Pacific, and invade North America. The U.S. countered with 11,000 troops and the 11th Air Force, which included 44 bombers and 95 P-40 Warhawks. The Aleutians, a 1,000-mile volcanic island chain, are known for their tough conditions such as storms, cold, and fog. Japanese aircraft launched two raids on Dutch Harbor from two carriers, leading to a brief air battle where Japanese losses included two Val dive bombers and a Zero fighter, and they shot down four of six P-40s. One P-40 crash-landed on Amchitka Island, was recovered in 1969, and restored. That aircraft, a 1942 P-40K owned by Butch Schroeder, was flown by 2nd Lt. Curtis List of the 18th Fighter Squadron on Attu. Vicki List McIntosh, her daughter, shares memories of her father.
