About this book: Most people have heard of the battered and muddy troops who 'saved' Australia on the Kokoda Track during the darkest hours of the Pacific war. Far fewer know of the Australian pilots and aircrew who first checked the Japanese advance into the South West Pacific, in desperate air fighting that swirled over the jungles of New Guinea and the base at Port Moresby, fully six months before the land campaign began. Storm over Kokoda tells how Australian crews, in a handful of Catalina flying boats, Hudson bombers and Kittyhawk fighters, took the fight to the Japanese.
Peter Ewer draws on eyewitness accounts and combat reports to shed new and exciting light on a neglected episode in Australian military history. Storm over Kokoda is a compelling tale of men at war - on both sides - in a harsh, physical environment
