| | Stan Gajda - Broome, Western Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Broome is 1,350 miles from Perth and was a remote out-of-the-way place during the war. |
 | | Planes and people fleeing from Indonesia were staging through Broome on their way down south to Perth.This attack resulted in the destruction of 17 aircraft which included 3-engine Donier Do24 seaplanes, Catalinas, Empire flying boats, Fortresses, Liberators, Hudsons and DC-3s. |
 | | I have identified three Dornier Do24's including X-1, X-20 and X-23 at Broome and about 50 miles on the coast south of Broome, the X-36 landed at night and the crew burnt it thinking the Japanese were right behind them. |
