McMahon... 'My plane must have been hit with more than one hundred rounds of machine gun fire,but I was only wounded slightly in one leg. The engine was on fire, petrol was dreaming from the left wing and the windshield was fractured. I immediately went over the side, my 'chute opened at 700 feet and I landed in the mangroves on the edge of Darwin Harbour'.
Robert McMahon celebrated his 21st birthday the day before.
Garry has pieced together a unique blend of personal stories that reveal the real faces of those key figures involved in the lead up to and the actual moment when a beautiful Darwin wet season morning was shattered by a rampant Japanese ideology.
Garry's ability to review, discern, and construct personal histories from both sides of the conflict,make this an important historical memoir for Australian, American and Japanese readers alike.
A great read for anyone looking to get up and personal with what really happened during the Bombing of Darwin period - 5 stars!
