Book Description
The first ever attack on Australia by a foreign power occurred at Darwin on 19th February 1942. The town was bombed in broad daylight by members of the Japanese Carrier Task Force which had been engaged at Pearl Harbor two months earlier. Not a single R.A.A.F. fighter aircraft was available to meet this attack, imminent and inevitable though it was.
