Back in the seventies when I was stationed on Adak in the aleutians, which was a US held Island and operational Airbase during the war. There was a book that we had access to and it was in print called “the thousand-mile war” on quote and it was about the Aleutian campaign pretty good read. We used to send out Notice to Mariners routinely for the area in and around Kiska Island which was full of ordinance after ferocious battles had occurred there. Fishermen were dragging up bombs in fishing nets and required EOD assists - that happened fairly often. On a Adak there was lots of old buildings that supported the Army Air corps and its operations in the Aleutians. It was a full-time long-term effort maintaining vigilance up there and it was dangerous - mostly because the weather (and high velocity wind shear) was absolutely terrible and unpredictable.
Sounds like a fun place to be, but I’m not signing up right away.
I would like to make the drive from northern AB to Alaska sometime, but those islands will likely have to wait til another time.
