The Defenders:
On 2 June 1942, Japan launched an attack on the US Navy facilities at Dutch Harbour, Alaska. The United States officially appealed for Canada’s help in the defence of the besieged Alaska and its Aleutian Islands, that were under attack and partially occupied by Japanese Air and Naval Forces.
Canada immediately sent 15 Squadrons of battle hardened RCAF Fighter and Bomber Reconnaissance aircraft, which fought valiantly with the Japanese Mitsubishi Zero and Rufe and Aichi Jake Seaplane fighters, as well as with the atrocious Aleutian weather which together cost many lives.
Red Star Over Canada:
Author Chris Weicht brings to life a mystery in Canada's North. Why did an uninhabited island along the mid-coast of British Columbia play a mysterious part in a long range 1937 flight by Russian aviators?
Was it a non-stop flight, or did they land and secretly refuel on Goose Island? What happened to the famous Russian flyer, Levanesky, once touted as the Russian Lindbergh? Why did the American and Canadian governments seem to go along with the deceit?
