Film: "Report from the Aleutians". Directed by John Huston, while a
member of the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, he narrates the story of the
Armed Forces successful effort to prevent the fall of the Aleutian Islands to
advancing Japanese troops who had captured several islets. It presented
enormous tactical and logistic difficulty for those assigned there, and
Huston's color film demonstrates the determined ensemble work upon the outpost
of Adak by a wide range of military specialists who combat loneliness and
boredom along with notably severe weather conditions. Bombing run over
Japanese-occupied Kiska, wherein Huston nearly lost his life, and which is

6th Film; "P-38 Crash at Attu story". This a story about a hotshot P-38 Lightning pilot flying in the Aleutians at 300 MPH and misjudged how close he was to the ground. Because of all of the snow, he mis-judged his altitude and crashed into a snow drift. He bounced up and thought he could fly his P-38 home on one engine, but when he looked, he discovered that one engine was gone and the prop was missing on the other. He than settled the P-38 aircraft in on a belly landing and jumped out of the aircraft believing it would burn, (which it did not). He was picked up by a boat that afternoon and the P-38 was left there for the next 40+ years. We got permission to use the Photos to create this small documentary. I think you will enjoy the clip. Today, the P-38 is totally restored by a group of dedicated men. Thanks guys for all of your hard work!!! 5:36 Min's
