Re: USN F6F Hellcat units in Aleutians? - April 1945
I now see that according the USAAF Chronology for 13 April 1945 it says: ALASKA (Eleventh Air Force): At Attu Island, 27 P-38s and P-40s scramble
following radar reports of unidentified plots; later, they shoot down 9 of 11
Japanese paper bomb-balloons sighted over the W Aleutians.
A USN F6F Hellcat involvement probably recorded in error...?
The mixed P-38/P-40 unit must have been 343rd FG.

Leendert
