Includes bibliographical references (p. [469]-485) and index -- Kiska forms a dramatic cultural landscape, a battlefield pure and simple. With little landscape modification before World War II, and virtually no modification thereafter, Kiska is a unique place to illustrate the effects of modern air-borne warfare. Bomb craters and damaged ground installations speak of the damage wrought by the attacking forces, while anti-aircraft guns and the broken remains of shot-down aircraft testify to the defenders' resolve and the ultimate price paid by many American aircrew. -- "Report to the U.S. National Park Service, Alaska in fulfillment of American Battlefield Protection Program Grant # ABPP-NPS-09-001" -- T.p. verso.
