Magnuson says Japanese misstep on Aleutians and Adak pick
Representative Warren Magnuson told the House Naval Affairs committee that the Japanese erred by seizing Kiska rather than Adak in the Aleutians. He cites maps labeling Kiska a naval reserve and lauds Army Navy defense work. He favors shrinking Sitka base, halting Kodiak projects, and using private airlines for Attu travel while furlough options are explored.
