Two of the bombers were so severely damaged that their pilots directed them northward to an emergency landing at the port city of Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka.
 
"One by one the crippled bombers descended towards Petropavlovsk. Lt. Sam Savignac's was the first of the B-25's to land, touching down in mid-afternoon only minutes after one of the heavy B-24's. Four other B-25's followed. Of the nineteen bombers in the raid, three were shot down, seven landed in Petropavlovsk, and nine returned to the Aleutians."
 
They were interned in the Soviet Union.
