G'day All, I nursed a chap about 10 years ago who was stationed in Darwin at the time of the bombings (unfortunatley now this chap is deceased) but he told me it was terrifying, they had bugger all to defend themselves with, the death toll was high, chaos reigned, he said he had nightmares for years after the war had finished, he made no reference to US servicemen, maybe "mr stanley" needs to step outside his little dream world, cheers Dennis
