Some pics of Vals and Kates attacking Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians.This attack was to draw the USN Fleet away from Midway so the Japanese could invade it.

Al,

These are fantastic shots...too bad for the Japs that we broke their JN-25 code well enough that we got them to admit Midway was their real target and that we didn't fall for the Aleutians ruse. :salute:
 
Nice Scenery

Hi Al

Here are some good WW2 aerial photos showing the layout of Dutch Harbor, including the locations of the anti aircraft defences.

Thanks Kdriver,

I have Dutch Harbor set up as best as the scenery will allow.I have photos also of it from a few years ago. To keep FPS down I basically put in some docks,the break water ,Fort Mears and surrouding area ( barracks, hospital and so forth ),the tank farm,AA and radio stations. I may add a few more oil tanks.
