      The Ego and Analysis of Defense
    • Annotation. Lover luck and larceny : memoirs from Broome, (Non-fiction), by Cambridge scholar John Thompson-Gray, tells stories of lives deflected by the Battle at Broome. It flies under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, sinks submarines, answers enemy fire, rescues the stranded, survives POW camps, does aerobatics, finds romance, escapes from Red Russia, ditches in the English Channel, develops the Zero fighter, survives cyclones, stitches battle wounds, collects Luck, snares cold case diamond thieves and romps through recent history. The memoir of Aboriginal-European sea Captain Alfred Brown shows that a father's love can be an example to us all, while the power of Divine Love underwrites the life of missionary surgeon Dr Jean Davies. Shibata's dedication to the Zero fighter and Lamade's dedication to USS Houston are stories of flying sailors. New research reveals untold stories of luck, love and grand larceny. In many cases the woman's heroism is as significant as that of her partner and this is captured in six memoirs of love affairs: Shadforth and Brown, Macherez and Winckel, Welter and Droste, Shepherdson and Hasselo, Hardwiger and Woods, Linnet and Smirnov. Jack Palmer's love of the beachcomber life becomes a Grand Larceny 'Whodunit' when thirty thousand diamonds disappear from a plane shot down during the attack. Readers are invited to sleuth along. Some of the background stories are Captain Lester Brain of Qantas; Americans Lieutenant Colonel Richard A. Legg, Dr- Captain Charles A. Stafford and Sergeant Melvin O. Donoho of the U.S.A.A.F; lifesavers Harold Mathieson, Charles D'Antoine and Robin Hunter at Roebuck Bay; overland rescuers Brother Richard Bessenfelder, WO Gus Clinch and stockman Joe Bernard to Carnot Bay; Zero pilots Zenziro Miyano and Osamu Kudo; souls lost to the sea and many spared by an upper level northerly wind

      Sculling
    • New evidence explains Australia's most infamous day.The Imperial Japanese Navy bombers that attacked Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941 blitzed Darwin on February 19th 1942. As Australia defended her mainland for the first time the only Ally standing with her was the United States of America. On that day, Americans and Australians were forged as Cousins-in-Arms. Darwin's airfield, town and harbour were repeatedly bombed leaving a trail of human tragedy. Typical of the many heroes were Wing Commander Archie Tindal RAAF Base, Lieutenant Robert Oestreicher Kittyhawk Ace, Jack Mullholland Anti-Aircraft Gunner, Matron Clara Schumack hospital ship and Coxswain John Waldie life- saver.The writer weaves historical facts into story lines with real time action sequences. Where the story varies from historic opinion, forensic reasons are revealed for differing views, and the reader's judgement is invited. Examples are the role of spies, withholding the air raid warning, attacked hospitals, interpretation of information and subtleties of the Japanese attack plan. Action-thriller Japanese Blitz on Darwin, by Cambridge Short Story scholar John Thompson-Gray is a story of the first Darwin Defenders and those who bombed and strafed them.
