Description
Darwin's Air War 1942-1945 by Bob Alford is a comprehensive account of the air war in Darwin during World War II. This revised edition, first published in 1991, draws on a wide range of sources worldwide, including Japan, to provide an authoritative history of the period. The book covers the entire scope of Darwin's air war, from the pre-war defense build-up to the massive raid on February 19th, 1942. It also explores the subsequent raids and reconnaissances, many previously unrecorded, and the role of radar in defending the town. The author highlights the contributions of various aircraft types, including P-40s, Spitfires, Hudsons, Beaufighters, B-25s, and Liberators. A series of profiles provides insight into the experiences of pilots from different nationalities, adding depth to this fascinating account of war in a often-overlooked theater. The book is well footnoted throughout and includes a lengthy list of sources, making it a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike.
