Stumbled across this book in a store recently - according to the author the same Japanese carrier force that attack Pearl Harbour was responsible for the attack on Darwin.
What's more interesting is the following reported facts:
1) More bombs were dropped on Darwin;
2) More civilians killed; &
3) More ships sunk.
Interesting, as from memory the above statistics were never mentioned during any school history lessons or books............just stated that Darwin was attacked by a Japanese air raid.
(Or did I wag school on those days.............................hum)
Cheers
