	Air raids on Darwin, February 19, 1942 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two Japanese air raids on Darwin, Australia, on February 19, 1942 were by far the biggest ever attack by a foreign power against the Australian mainland.
		The raids were the first of about 100 air raids against Australia during 1942-43.
		As was the case at Pearl Harbor, the Australian town was unprepared, and although it came under attack from the air another 63 times in 1942 and 1943, the raids on February 19 were massive and devastating by comparison.
