Eagles Over Darwin

In 1942 the air defence of the northern Australian frontier town of Darwin was operated by airmen from the United States. Flying P-40E Warhawks, the pilots of the 49th Fighter Group fought a brave and innovative campaign against a stronger enemy that did much to safeguard Australia in its darkest hour.

In 1942, apararea aeriana a orasului de frontiera nord-australian Darwin a fost operata de aviatori din Statele Unite. In acel an a fost aproape sfarsitul Australiei ca tara. Pentru acei barbati, natiunea actuala are o datorie. Un atac japonez masiv asupra lui Darwin din 19 februarie a lasat orasul si baza aeriana in ruina.
