Progress Of Aleutian Operations
Obscure

American army and navy aviation
striking whenever the dirty weather
of the far north permitted,
were at work today to drive the
Japanese from their fingertip hold
on the outermost end of the Aluetian
island chain stretching westward

was obscure. The navy, for
the time, stood on its original announcement
that attacks against
the Japanese in the islands “are
continuing."
