Following the devastating raids on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941,
lightning advances by Japanese forces throughout the Pacific and
the Far East, and a desperate battle by the Allied command in the
Dutch East Indies, it became evident that an attack on Australia
was more a matter of 'when' and not 'if'. On 19 February, just
eleven weeks after the attacks on Pearl Harbor and two weeks after
the fall of Singapore, the same Japanese battle group that had
attacked Hawaii was ordered to attack the ill-prepared and
under-defended Australian port of Darwin. Publishing 75 years after
this little-known yet devastating attack, this fully illustrated
study details what happened on that dramatic day in 1942 with the
help of contemporary photographs, maps, and profiles of the
commanders and machines involved in the assault.
