For #scape day, Akutan, Alaska Peninsula. A rugged island, the remains of a volcano caldera flooded by the ocean. The tiny remote Aleut village hosts significant fish processing facilities. 1981

For the first time last year, Akutan Island’s K–12 school had two local Unangax̂ teachers — and they’re back this year. The principal calls their presence transformative.
Drying fish and canning jam: Akutan teachers highlight place-based learning
The K–12 school on Akutan Island has two teachers. Last year was the first time they were local Unangax̂ residents — and they're continuing to teach this year.

June 4, 1942, Japanese pilot Tadayoshi Koga crashed his Zero fighter plane on Akutan after attacking Dutch Harbor. US recovered & used it for intelligence/training. Known as the Akutan Zero, some believe it gave the US a crucial advantage during WWII. #alaskahistory #alaska

#OTD in 1942, a Mitsubishi A6M Zero crash-landed on Akutan Island in Alaska. The U.S. Navy later recovered and repaired the Zero so that it's handling characteristics could be analyzed. The information gave U.S. fighter pilots an advantage over their Japanese adversaries.

Dnes je to přesně 83 let, co Američané ukořistili téměř nepoškozený exemplář japonské stíhačky Micubiši A6M Zero, který nouzově přistál na aleutském ostrově Akutan. Šlo o první Zero získané Američany od začátku války v Pacifiku.
Toto je příběh tzv. Akutanského Zera:🧵

Good thread, the BLUF is US pilots had already developed tactics against the Zero, and those tactics had already informed the design of the Hellcat and Corsair, prior to the Fall of 42
Akutan Zero is still a very interesting early example of FME, but its significance is overstated in pop history

I think it's worth engaging a bit with this famous incident. Particularly the claim that it gave U.S. fighter pilots a significant "advantage". John Lundstrom includes an appendix in _The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign_ on this claim and casts significant doubt over its validity.

The broader issue the traditional narrative around the Akutan Zero falls within is the use of technological determinism as a framing device for understanding the Asia-Pacific air war. The actual correlation between new aircraft types and tactical results can be charitably described as "flimsy."

Continuing, I finished my second @officialairfix 1/72 A6M2b Zero this time doing it up as the captured "Akutan Zero".

That's not to say capturing and testing an enemy aircraft was not of any value at all. Of course it was. Its impact has just been overstated in the case of the Akutan Zero. It still provided more detailed technical information than could be gained from combat observations.
