Attu, the westernmost Aleutian island, is nearly 1,100 miles from the Alaskan mainland and 750 miles northeast of the northernmost of the Japanese Kurile Islands.
Attu is about 20 by 35 miles in size, and is today the home of a small number of U. Coastguard personnel operating a Loran station.
Attu was occupied on June 6th, 1942 by the Japanese, and was the site of some of the bloodiest fighting during W.W.II (second only to Iwo Jima) commencing on "D-Day," 11 May 1943.
