GETS TASTE OF FIRST AIR RAID
AUSTRALIA – View of the railway station at Townsville, strategic port and foundry town lying about midway between Sydney and the northern tip of Australia, which last night was raided by a small formation of Japanese flying boats. The raiders, who came in unescorted, dropped their bombs wide of their target and raced for home. It was the first raid on the continental shores of northeastern Australia.
