“Aleutian Tigers”
As part of their plan to expand their empire in the Pacific farther eastward, the Japanese initiated the Midway-Aleutian operations by conducting a carrier strike against the U.S. Navy base at Dutch Harbor as a diversion to the main offensive against Midway Island. The raids, carried out 3-4 June from the aircraft carriers Juyno and Ryujo, were the only major air attacks conducted against North American soil during World War II. The attacks by Vals and Kates and Zero fighters inflicted minimum damage. Eighty-six Army and Navy personnel were killed and eleven aircraft were destroyed. A number of buildings and fuel tanks were also demolished and a barracks ship, the Northwestern, was damaged. In return, 11th Fighter Squadron fighters based at Otter Point, an airfield built in secret near Dutch Harbor on the east end of Umnak Island, intercepted and shot down five Japanese aircraft.
