Moving speedily and cautiously, American and Canadian troops are
pictured as they neared the island of Kiska ou the first day of operations
there. They are transferring to a landing craft. The Japanese, in their
first such action of the war, made no attempt to defend the island. They
fled, allowing the Allies to take it without a battle. According to Vice Ad-
miral Thomas C. Kinkaid, commander of the North Pacific forces, the
fall of Kiska puts America in an offensive rather than a defensive posi-
tion in the Aleutians. This new victory makps the use of land based
bombers against Jap bases in the Kurile islands more feasible.
