Using newly translated Japanese records, Carrier Attack is the first forensic analysis of the Darwin air-raid. It is the first detailed analysis of the raid by military historians. Carrier Attack reveals the reality of the raid – and dispels many myths. The Darwin raid is usually portrayed as a wholesale disaster for the Allies, and a day full of military ineptitude. Carrier Attack shows the defenders were alert and fought with purpose. Arguably it was the Japanese that wasted much of their attacking strength.
