"Based on the Kiska WWII guns condition and assessment reports"--Page [2] of cover. "When the U.S. military recaptured Kiska in 1943, they discovered 105 heavy and medium guns left by the Japanese. These ranged from the larger guns emplaced for coastal defense, a range of anti-aircraft guns, of which the 75 mm was the most numerous, to assorted smaller artillery. A joint U.S. National Park Service (NPS) and US. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) gun condition assessment in 2007, examined nearly 30 guns, many still in their original locations"--Page [2] of cover.
