Bombing of Darwin remembered 78 Years on.

Jack Mulholland antiaircraft gunner WWII Veteran recounts his personal experience from what he describes as "The Battle for Darwin" 19 February 1942 when 188 Japanese aircraft bombs rained out of the morning sky.
Under prepared and with little training, Jack indicates it was like having to run 100 yards, in the olympic games, without ever having run a race.

Kaname Harada
Japanese Zero Fighter Pilot whom escorted the Japanese bombers onto their Darwin targets, was surprised no Australian interceptors would be waiting for them. Mr Kaname Harada provided air cover while Japanese dive bombers attacked Australian ships, sinking 4 principle vessels in Darwin Harbour.

Reports indicate 256 people were killed during the attack

While warships were sinking and town was left burning, much of Australia was left oblivious to the number of dead, and the extent of the damage.

It has been 70 years since Darwin was bombed by the Japanese but the city finally gets its own day of honour now.
