It was actually a pretty bloody battle and wasn't technically Alaska, but two Islands. The Japanese lost around 2000 men and the US lost around a thousand. It wasn't just a couple of planes. There were a bunch of vets that were pissed off about it when the US govt allowed Japan to build a monument for their loses on one of the islands.
