Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I Hune 1942, hei wāhanga o te mahi Midway Japanese
I te tau kotahi mano, ka whakaekea e ngā Hapanihi ngā moutere o Aleutian, i te taha tonga o te takutai o Alaska. Ko Tadayoshi Koga, 19 tau te pakeke o te rangatira rererangi tuatahi, i tukuna mai i te kaipuke rererangi a Hapanihi "Ryūjō" hei waahanga o te whakaekenga o te 4 o Pipiri. Ko Koga tētahi wāhanga o tētahi wāhanga rererangi e toru. Ko ana kaitiaki ko te Tumuaki Petty Officer Makoto Endo me te Petty Officer Tsuguo Shikada. I whakaekea e Koga me ona hoa a Dutch Harbor, i pupuhi i tetahi poti rererangi PBY-5A Catalina a Amerika i rerehia e Bud Mitchell me te patu i ona oranga i roto i te wai. E toru nga whakaeke whai muri i mate ai te ope o te PBY. I mate a Koga i te hinganga o tana rererangi kua pakaru ki te moutere o Akutan.
