Strafe Kiska
By Wiliam Worden
From an Alaskan Army base
Pept. 7 (Delayed) (.-P) — Ameri
can fighter planes strafed Jap
shipping and men at Kiska fori
the first time since the island was |
(ccupied. Two fighters, followed !
by a bomber, and led by Brig.
Gen. William Butler, Comman
der, Alaska Air Force, made a
low-level attack on three shipsJ
and escaped into the clouds be I
fore the Jap gunners recovered
from the surprise of seeing the
planes at almost eye level.
The raiders also strafed a co
umn of troops ashore and hit in
stallations In a subsequent raid
• they arrived over Kiska under
low cloud ceiling and machine
gunned motored flying boats on
the water and set fire to a figh
ter on the beach.
They also “mowed down like
r
straws” what appeared to be a
line of soldiers outside a inesshall
and also mit out of action an en
emy machine eun crew which
began firing at them.
On a second dive they raked a
converted yacht which was
thought might have been a float
ing command post and observed
a number of seamen fall under
the concentrated ma^h ne gun
fire.
As the planes swept ocer in a
third dive most of the enemy
man power seemed to be under
cover, so they concentratod on
the largest warehouse and then
headed homeward.
General Bulter, placed in
charge of the Alaska air force
this summer, is 46 and comes
from Marshall, Virginia.
