Plane Crash Aleutian Islands

From photo album of my Daddy, Sgt. James Travis McElrath. He was in the Aleutian Islands from July 1943 to October 1945. He was an airplane & engine mechanic.

I only know that this is in the Aleutian Islands. It is one of many pictures in my Daddy's (Sgt. James Travis McElrath)Army photo album.

Date & Place: 1943 at Aleutian Islands in USA

Did your father ever talk about Lou Manbeck? Lou was my father-in-law. He was a P-38 pilot and was stationed in the Aleution Islands during WWII.
