Fighter planes that became, in a few short months, the scourge of the Pacific. It was June 4,1942 when the Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo, lying off the south coast of the Alaska Aleutian chain, launched three A6M Zero fighters in a strike against Alaska’s Dutch Harbor. One Zero, flown by Flight Officer Koga, was hit by shell fire and with his damaged engine slobbering oil and about to fail, Koga headed for remote Akutan Island. As he touched down on Akutan his gear dug into the bog and was instantly smashed away. The Zero flipped over on its back and Koga was killed from his landing gone wrong.

Kodiak Island, nicknamed the Emerald Isle, gleams like a gem in the North Pacific. Lush green mountains soar skyward from the ocean, framing deep, fjord-like bays. The island's wet maritime climate and mild temperatures encourage thick vegetation growth, which provides sustenance for the abundant wildlife on the island. The Alaska Current flows northward near Kodiak, bringing warm water and nutrients to Alaska's frigid Gulf. These nutrients form the basis for one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. Kodiak bears reign as the island's monarchs, which has among the densest brown bear populations on earth. They are one of the six endemic mammals found on Kodiak, while humans have introduced many other wild mammals to the Kodiak Archipelago. The ocean surrounding Kodiak teems with seals, sea otters, sea lions, porpoises, and whales, while bald eagles, puffins, rare black oystercatchers, and arctic terns (which migrate all the way from Antarctica) also call the archipelago home.
