February 19, 1942
Today is the 65th commemoration of the Bombing of Darwin.
Around 10am this morning we had a fly-over of F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets over the city centre while the annual commemorative service was held at the Darwin Cenotaph.
The Bombing of Darwin (note: wikipedia link) was the Pearl Harbour of Australia. Unlike the bombing of Pearl Harbour, the Japanese air force bombed Darwin for over 21 months (Feb. 1942 through to Nov. 1943), killing over 243 people, and injuring from 300 to 400 people; most of the deaths and injuries were suffered during the two air raids on 19th February, 1942.
