Come join on us 20 July at 1130 in the morning in the Crows Nest at the Alameda Naval Air Museum ! Bill Paul, author will present about his new book, Aleutian War Veterans – Stories and Insights.
Many Americans, even today, don’t realize the extent to which Alaska was involved in World War II, and that two islands in the Aleutians were invaded and occupied by Japanese forces. Author Bil Paul, whose father served as a Navy communications officer on Adak Island, has extensively researched personal accounts of veterans from the islands. As the last of them depart this earth, Awaiting the Sun is a timely compendium of on-the-ground experiences by which to remember those young men and the price of war
Normal entrance fee is $10.00 and $8.00 for veterans and free for members of the museum!
