Aléoutiennes : la campagne oubliée
( VOL.1)
Aujourd’hui
pratiquement
oubliée,
la
campagne
des
Aléoutiennes
fut
pendant
la
Seconde
Guerre
mondiale
le
lieu
d’un
affrontement
entre
forces
japonaises
et
américaines.
Conçue
comme
une
manœuvre
de
diversion
pour
attirer
les
Américains
loin
de
Midway,
l’attaque
japonaise
de
la
base
de
Dutch
Harbor
en
juin
1942
est
suivie
d’un
débarquement
de
troupes
à
Attu
et
Kiska,
les
îles
les
plus
occidentales
de
l’archipel.
Perçue
comme
une
menace,
la
présence
japonaise
sur
le
sol
nord-américain
provoque
l’envoi
d’unités
américaines
et
canadiennes.
Les
Japonais,
qui
n’ont
aucune
intention
d’y
rester,
n’ont
pourtant
d’autre
choix
que
de
s’y
retrancher,
harcelés
par
la
11th
Air
Force…
Les
opérations
aériennes
des
appareils
des
deux
camps
sont
fortement
perturbées
par
le
temps
exécrable
qui
sévit
dans
le
Pacifique
Nord.
Les
15
mois
que
dure
la
campagne
auront
causé
plus
de
pertes
à
cause
des
conditions
météorologiques
que
des
combats!
Les
P-38,
P39,
P-40,
B-24,
B-25
et
B-26
mènent
des
frappes
continues
contre
les
installations
Japonaises.
En
mai
1943,
les
forces
américaines
réoccupent
Attu
après
une
bataille
sanglante.
C’est
le
premier
pas
vers
la
reconquête
de
l’archipel
et
les
raids
vers
les
Kouriles
du
Nord…
Ce
sujet
méconnu
sera
traité
en
deux
parties
dans
"Ciel
de
Guerre"
par
Arnaud
Prudhomme et Stéphane Soulard.

Aleutians : the forgotten battle
(part 1)
Who
does
remember
today
that
during
Word
War
2,
the
Aleutians
were
an
advanced
theatre
of
operations
against
Japan?
As
a
diversionary
move
in
conjunction
with
their
strike
against
Midway,
the
Japanese
bombed
Dutch
Harbor
in
June
1942
and
landed
troops
on
Kiska
and
Attu,
the
westernmost
islands
of
the
Aleutians.
The
Japanese
remained,
primarily
in
a
defensive
situation,
to
prevent
any
movement
by
American
forces
toward
Japan
through
the
Aleutians
chain.
Aerial
operations
by
the
enemy
and
by
the
fighter
and
bomber
units
of
11th
Air
Force
were
often
restricted
by
severe
weather.
The
15
months
of
the
campaign
turned
out
to
be
a
struggle
against
nature
rather
than
against
rival
enemy
forces!
The
11th
Air
Force
knew
many
losses,
in
most
cases,
caused
by
accidents.
P-38s,
P39s,
P-40s,
B-24s,
B-25s
and
B-26s
led
continuous
attacks
on
Japanese
installations.
In
May
1943,
American
forces
seized
Attu
after
a
bloody
battle.
First
step
to
the
recapture
of
the
Aleutians
and
to
the
raids
against
the
Northern
Kuriles,
the
Japanese
home
islands.
This
subject
which
remains
unknown
to
many
will
be
done
in
two
parts
in
"Sky
War"
by
Arnaud
Prudhomme
and
Stéphane Soulard.
This
well
done
magazine,
printed
on
heavy,
glossy
paper,
is
full
of
valuable
information,
photos,
drawings,
maps,
and
stories
of
the
battles,
aircraft,
and
ships
engaged
in
the
Aleutian
theater
of
WWII.
Lists
of
aircraft
by
unit
number,
nicely
detailed
maps,
photos
from
many
sources
(including
hlswilliwaw.com/aleutians),makes
this
magazine
an
interesting
read
even
if
you
don't

French!
