Description Lot 4102-9: America at War: Victory in the Aleutians, July 1942-August 1943. On the alert as an unidentified plane approaches a U.S. Navy seaplane tender in the North Pacific waters off the Aleutian Islands, a U.S. anti-aircraft gun crew onboard the tender prepares to open fire with a 40-mm gun. In the background are snow-capped mountains which stretch along the Aleutian island chain. U.S. and Canadian air, sea, and ground forces in combined operations drove the Japanese from the Aleutian islands of Kiska, Attu, and Agattu. Collection of the Office of War Information, 1946.
