On the opposite (northern) end of the Pacific front U. S. army bombers continued their almost daily raids on Kiska, last Jap stronghold in the Aleutians. These raids were important because earlier reports indicated that the Japs had reinforced their garrison there and had also been building new installations at Gertrude Cove on the south side of the island. It was believed that when the Japs were chased out of Attu and Agattu, two other Aleutian bases, they took many of their supplies with them, preparing for a last ditch stand at Kiska.
