Description
The Bombing of Darwin 1942: A Tragic Day in Australian History On 19th February 1942, the town of Darwin was attacked by members of the Japanese Carrier Task Force, which had been engaged at Pearl Harbor two months earlier. The attack occurred during the day, with no operational R.A.F. fighter aircraft available to meet it. At the time of the raid, Douglas Lockwood was a correspondent for the Melbourne Herald in Darwin. In the years that followed, he travelled the world interviewing survivors and participants of the attack to produce the first complete reconstruction of that tragic day. His account remains the most reliable and accurate record of the Darwin bombings to this day. This book provides a detailed and personal account of the bombing of Darwin, drawing on Lockwood's extensive research and interviews with those who were there.
