Attu Airfield Found Behind Japanese Lines
May 19 Attu reports reveal American troops examined the newly built airstrip spared from enemy fire. Japanese crews labored long on a 1000 yard strip near Holz Bay but lacked modern machinery. Despite trucks and dirt cars, no bulldozer existed and a long drainage ditch was hand dug. Abandoned vehicles were damaged, some repairable, while shacks stood amid field rations. The Holz Bay area yielded guns, vehicles, and a vast food and ammunition cache to supply months of action.
