Description

Attu Boy is the unforgettable story of John "Attu" Mathieson, a young man from Alaska who fought bravely in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. Mathieson was just 17 years old when he joined the Army Air Forces in 1942. He was assigned to the 11th Air Force, which was responsible for defending the Aleutian Islands from Japanese invasion.

Mathieson saw combat in some of the most brutal fighting of the war. He was involved in the Battle of Attu, which was one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War. Mathieson was also part of the team that liberated the Japanese-occupied island of Kiska. After the war, Mathieson returned to Alaska and went on to have a successful career in business.
