Summary

edit
Description Lot-803-14: Aleutian Islands Campaign, June 1942 - August 1943. Allied Landing on Attu Island, May 11 1943. A Navy Combat Photography Unit was on hand when the first wave of American troops were put ashore at Japanese occupied Attu, the western-most island of the Aleutian chain. These photographs were taken during combined Army and Navy operations from the time the troops went over the side in Massacre Bay and in Holtz Bay. The photographer continued with the troops until they were in actual contact with the enemy. Many of these photographs were taken under Japanese fire. Photo caption: American soldiers landing at Holtz Bay find a Japanese victim of Army Air Corps marksmanship. This float-type Mitsubishi A6M “Zero” had been machine-gunned several days before the landing by attacking U.S. planes. The Japanese pulled the damaged ships ashore and turned it over on its back, U.S. troops in the landing party survey the craft. U.S. Navy photograph, released May 27, 1943. Photographed through Mylar sleeve. (2015/11/06).
