Both of these were part of the Territory of Alaska (which didn't become a state until 1959). I suppose a case could be made that they weren't on the American mainland, as islands; but I'd certainly call them part of the North American landmass as I would Vancouver Island or Baffin Island.
Sorry Aenlic, I was meaning the North American mainland. If you were to include islands, then yes, the Japanese did occupy several Aelutian Islands, as well as Bell Island, Newfoundland.
