On 19 February 1942 the Japanese air force bombed Darwin. Whilst
this fact is well known, very few people know exactly what
happened. Timothy Hall was the first writer to be given acess to
all the official reports of the time and as a result he has been
able to reveal exactly what happened on that dreadful day - a day
which Sir Paul Hasluck (17th Governor-General of Australia) later
described as 'a day of national shame'. The sequence of events in
Darwin that day certainly did not reflect the military honour that
the War Cabinet wanted people to believe. On the contrary, for what
really happened was a combination of chaos, panic and, in many
cases, cowardice on an unprecented scale.
