A co-ordinated sea-air drive,
preparing the way for a possible
early invasion of the japanese
outpost of Kiska, was indicated
by the Navy today with dis
closure that American bombers
heavily attacked the islands de-
fenses both before and after
warships bombarded the strong
hold Thursday.
A Navy communique said Army
Liberators and Mitchells, escorted by
fighters, blasted coastal batteries,
antiaircraft positions and buildings.
Canadian flyers joined in the at
tack. plotting fighter planes.
The enemy's last Aleutians foot
hold has been attacked by air 20
times and sheiled by warships seven
times this month.
Numerous fires were started and
a large explosion was observed after
Thursdays raid, the communique
said.
One American plane was shot
down by antiaircraft fire, but the
crew was subsequently rescued.
The belief that invasion may be
imminent is supported by the fact
that heavy surface vessels partici-
pated in Thursdays bombardment.
The earlier attacks, which started
July 6, were made by light surface
unit-generally believed to be light
cruiser or destroyer. In all except
two of the bombardments the jap
anese elected to withhold their
fire, apparently in an attempt to
conceal the location Of their shore
