Darwin 1942: The Japanese Attack on Australia

Darwin 1942: The Japanese Attack on Australia is a 2017 book by Bob Alford, illustrated by Jim Laurier.

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]
