Synopsis
The little-known yet fascinating story of when two of the most iconic aircraft of World War II dueled in the skies above Australia., The little-known yet fascinating story of when two of the most iconic aircraft of World War II dueled in the skies above Australia. Fully illustrated with detailed full-color artwork, this is the gripping story of two iconic aircraft facing off against each other above Australia. Just weeks after Pearl Harbor, Darwin was mauled by a massive Japanese attack. Without a single fighter to defend Australian soil, the Australian government made a special appeal to Britain for Spitfires. A year later the Spitfire VC-equipped No 1 Fighter Wing, RAAF, faced the battle-hardened 202nd Kokutai of the IJNAF, equipped with A6M2 Zero-sens, over Darwin. This was a grueling campaign between evenly matched foes, fought in isolation from the main South Pacific battlegrounds. Pilots on either side had significant combat experience, including a number of Battle of Britain veterans. The Spitfire had superior flight characteristics but was hampered by short range and material defects in the tropical conditions, while the Japanese employed better tactics and combat doctrine inflicting serious losses on overconfident the Commonwealth forces., In the 1943 dry season, two air units of similar strength faced each other in the skies over Darwin, capital of Australia's Northern Territory. These were the Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force's 202nd Kokutai, equipped with A6M2/3 Zero-sens, and No. 1 Fighter Wing, Royal Australian Air Force, flying Spitfire VCs recently shipped out from Britain. This campaign occurred far from the main Pacific theatres of New Guinea and the South Pacific, so it has remained little-known outside of Australia. The Spitfire pilots included Battle of Britain and Malta veterans, and they were fully confident of sweeping their opponents from the skies. However, the results were mixed due to the battle-hardened nature of the Zero-sen pilots involved, and the campaign has been tainted with controversy ever since. This was air combat fought on roughly equal terms, well before the Pacific War 'Turkey Shoots' of 1944-45. Indeed, both aircraft types were well matched, for although the Spitfire had superior flight characteristics, it was hampered by short range and material defects in the tropical conditions.
