Wartime strategy for Alaska bridge to Japan in Pacific war
The article discusses a Roosevelt backed plan to push bombing and fighting planes from Alaska toward Japan, supported by carriers and surface ships. It argues the campaign could threaten Japan while diverting Japanese air power from the Southwest Pacific and potentially aid Australia and New Zealand, with minimal shipping impact and possible use of barges. It notes risks such as submarine threats and the need to avoid overextension. It contrasts known Japanese naval power with U S underestimation of air strength.
