CAF Warbird Tube - WWII Aircraft of the Aleutian Islands

Often referred to as the "Forgotten Battle," the Aleutian Islands Campaign witnessed some of the harshest conditions of World War II.

From P-38 Lightnings to B-24 Liberators, we’ll discuss the role of these warbirds in one of the most challenging theaters of the war. Follow more at http://www.floridabeachestotheberingsea.com/.
