RAK
RSN: 33761 ISBN: 9781742232270 (pbk.) Call Number: 940.54269414 Dates: Cooper, Anthony James,1961- Name of Publisher: Sydney :New South,2011. Attachments: xii, 516 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm. Bibliography: Includes bibliographical references (p. 488-500) and index. Summary: In 1943, a small band of inexperienced Australian and British fighter pilots fought an ongoing air battle in defense of north-western Australia, flying against a formidably skilled and proficient opponent. The air raids on Darwin during 1942-43 constituted the only sustained and intensive direct assault on Australian mainland territory in the whole of World War Two and yet, surprisingly, most Australians have no idea that it ever happened. Following the RAAF's No 1 Fighter Wing, Darwin Spitfires tells this little-known story, and in so doing, recovers this important aspect of Australian history.
