Attu 071


United States task forces landed on Jap-held Attu Island, western point of the Aleutian Islands in May 11, and are now battling the enemy there, it was announced today by the Navy. The action followed two and a half months of intensive bombing of enemy positions. The accompanying pictures, taken before and since the Jap occupation of Attu, show scenes around Chichagof, one of the main harbors on the north coast of Attu.
