WORLD WAR II IN ALASKA AND NORTHWESTERN CANADA
Volume Three of the Forgotten War series continues the saga of American and Canadian forces battling the Japanese invaders, adverse weather conditions and the remoteness of the far north country of Alaska and Northwestern Canada.
This volume presents in detail the naval actions in the Aleutian campaign, the RCAF fighter and bomber commands in Alaska and wartime activities on Annette, Kodiak, Amchitka and Adak islands; and in Seward, along with many other stories and photographs of the war years.
The 50th anniversary of the Dutch Harbor attack, the Alaska Highway and Canol Project in 1992 have brought forth much publicity and awareness of these important events. This volume and the forthcoming Volume Four will continue to present topics of interest and new unpublished photographs
