The full story is long and complicated, but in early 1942 Wake Island was defended by US Marine soldiers and a squadron of Marine F4F Wildcat fighters. Although Wake was too close to Japan for comfort, and it received little support from the US, the island put up a heroic defense before it was captured. The story of Wake Island was made into a film in the same year.
