Darwin 1942: The Japanese Attack on Australia is a 2017 book by Bob Alford, illustrated by Jim Laurier.[1] It covers the two air raids on Darwin in the Northern Territory in Australia on 19 February 1942.[2] The bombing of Darwin was often called "Australia's Pearl Harbor": the Imperial Japanese Navy began the attack on 19 February 1942, killing more than 230 people and destroying ships, buildings and infrastructure.[3]
The book was an entry for the Chief Minister's Northern Territory History Book Award in 2018.[4] Alford had previously published two editions of Darwin's Air War 1942-1945. An Illustrated History in 1991 and 2011.[5]
