Comments: An account of the 1942 Darwin bombings and the actions of the Royal Australian Navy on 19th February, 1942.
Darwin was bombed in broad daylight by members of the Japanese Carrier Task Force which had been engaged at Pearl Harbour two months earlier. Not a single operational R.A.A.F fighter aircraft was available to meet this attack, imminent and inevitable though it was.
