Australia's Pearl Harbor - Darwin 1942

Rigby Limited

The first ever attack on Australia by a foreign power occurred at Darwin on 19 February 1942. To this day, Australia Under Attack remains the most reliable and accurate account of the Darwin bombings. Darwin was bombed in broad daylight by members of the Japanese Carrier Task Force, which had been engaged at Pearl Harbour two months earlier. Not a single operational R.A.A.F fighter aircraft was available to meet this attack, imminent and inevitable though it was. At the time of the raid, Douglas Lockwood was a correspondent for the Melbourne Herald in Darwin. In the years that followed, he travelled the world interviewing survivors of and participants in the attack to produce the first complete reconstruction of that tragic day.

Born in Natimuk, 25 kilometres west of Horsham in Victoria’s Wimmera district, Lockwood left school at 12 to help run his father’s newspaper, the weekly West Wimmera Mail, at the height of the Great Depression. With his father’s blessing he left home at 16 and worked as a reporter on rural Victorian papers in Camperdown, Tatura, and Mildura before being hired by Sir Keith Murdoch in 1941 as a journalist on The Herald in Melbourne. He stayed with The Herald’s parent company, the Herald and Weekly Times (HWT), for the rest of his life. At the end of 1941, during World War II, he was sent to Darwin with his new wife, Ruth, and was there for the first Japanese attack on Australia on 19 February 1942. While Douglas was there and was able to share his personal story he also interviewed American’s Japanese and other nations who took part. He was able to meet & interview former airmen who had flown against the Japanese that day and been shot down. He tells the story of the Bombing of Darwin.

We, The Aborigines

Douglas Lockwood began writing books based on his own knowledge and experiences with the Aborigines of northern and central Australia in the late 1950s. The author states that in this book he tried to show the Australian Aborigines as human beings and not scientific phenomena, as people rather than things. He attempted to tell at least one facet of their lives in each story in hopes that a comprehensive picture would emerge.
