 | | The two Japanese air raids on Darwin, Australia, on February 19, 1942 were by far the biggest ever attack by a foreign power against Australia. |
 | | They were also a significant action in the Pacific campaign of World War II and represented a major psychological blow to the Australian population, several weeks after hostilities with Japan had begun. |
 | | 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. |
