fighter pilots had the same target every day There was no airtoair combat There were no interesting places to vi sit when one was off duty Cer tainly there must have been a monotony in life at the cold drab encampments To help morale Walker held regular parades In spite of the surrounding wilder ness the old spit and polish per haps was emphasized to remind everyone that they still belonged to the air force And there was no doubt plenty of horse play and the usual rib bing about the Yanks There was one amusing situa tion which could have made all the air raid wardens on the west coast resign had known about it The Americans in their own grand fashion were con structing an airfield on an island miles from the Japanese en emy They had a great construction force working on the runways The Americans nonchalantly cpn- tinued their project nights with a shift working under blaz ing floodlights a hop and a skip away from the enemy Thous ands of miles away to the south Vancouver and

his first as ft fighter pilot Walker rived home for a rest in Canada in the fall of Hut exciting action in the was not over He was to operations tin der the worst weather conditions for flying in the world in the to do an addition al half tour in In the meantime he had flown Hurricanes and Spitfires over England the channel and France during some of the toughest air Kitting of the war On his return to Canada he took part in war campaigns and while home he married Miss Jean of Today the Walkers live at Bradford and have three children Ricky Maureen and David The air had a new job for hint He was posted as com- officer of No Fighter Squadron and at the same time vas promoted to the rank of squadron leader The Japanese had occupied Kis and and a force was be ing prepared to invade the island base for enemy troops and air craft There was an air base on for Zero fighter planes CanadianAmerican land and air forces were sent lo the Aleutian Islands Although he was supposed to be on six months rest Walker went Vancouver prior to the movement of Canadian pilots air craft and ground crews to the islands The pilots were use Ameri can Kittyhawk fighter planes We cursed them at They were slow heavy and not very compared with the Spits had been flying over seas said Walker Hut he ad mitted that the pilots became used to hem and later liked them The cockpit of the Kilty- hawk was wry roomy compared with that of a Spitfire A shoe horn would have been useful for a pilot into a Spits cockpit The Canadians flew fighter aircraft from Vancouver to their base on Island It is in- cresting to note how long it took February Manli They hopped from base on the west coast and on each stage mother plane a had to take off an hour or so be fore the fighters because of its much lower speed Lost Almost On one of the stages they took off from Annette Island up the coast and were told to fly a certain aerodrome They ran in to fog and were almost out of gas Finally we found a hole hi the fog and saw an emergency field right below it We all dove for it Walker recalls Of course all did not dive for hole the same instant hut the did get down a hurry It was a lucky break otherwise IB fight er planes and their pilots would have had little success coming down in a fog on that rough wil derness of west coast Their lifesaving emergency field called They finally reached their home base at Hut to at tack Walker took squadron to islam and they did their operations the Japanese at Kiska and Atu From they were bombing the Japanese on continuously under American control their daily dive bombing their main problem over the enemy base was AckAck antiaircraft fire No Zero fighters of the Japanese got Into the air when the Canadians were attacking although the pilots got three when they were attempt ing to take off Hive Apparently none of them got into combat at any appreciable height said Walker Our Job was to hangars runways and huts Ho said that as soon as the had been dropped the would run out onto the runway with wheelbar rows and fill up the bomb craters High up the leaving the scene after their attack could sec the little figures running out with the wheelbarrows they would he back the next day and out would come the wheelbarrows again With their fighterbombers they would go into dives from down to about feet They also acted as fighterescorts for Mitchell twinengined bombers which attacked the Jap anese in most of our work we flew eight planes a time instead of usual Walker said Many aircraft were hit by antiaircraft fire during the attacks hut not one pilot was lost over Kiska Appalling Weather The Canadians flew their fight ers about miles to attack the Japanese and although there were no losses in action about pilots were killed because of the appall ing weather conditions under which they had to fly The aircraft would leave on a mission one day and weather would be good Often by the time they were ready to return to their base one of those fateful Aleutian mists would move in A mist seemed to come from nowhere and its approach would be sudden Some pilots were kill ed when they flew straight into Ihe mountains lost in the fog Others were kilted while trying to land Weather was the enemy not the Japanese kind of work kept up dur ing April June July and August of Walkers log for August stales Kiska is now in our hands Flew over island bidding adieu for good we hope Kiska was invaded Aug hut was the first day the squadron could fly over the island because of weather The story of the invasion by land forces of course is well known The Japa nese must have heard everything about the buildup for the attack by land forces during a heavy fog they all slipped away and when the Canadian American forces landed the enemy had gone The allies
