1942 ~ Some 250 Japanese warplanes attacked Darwin, Australia. The attack killed at least 243 people.

Cyclone Carlos broke the marquee erected for the memorial ceremony.

The destroyer USS Robert E Peary was destroyed during the attack.

The same battle fleet bombed Pearl Harbour, the Phillipines and Darwin.
