The Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero was the terror of the Pacific skies at the outset of World War II. The appearance of these rare and historically prominent warbirds will be a source of fascination and inspiration.

The Supermarine Spitfire is the hero of the Battle of Britain along with its counterpart, the Hurricane, and the pilots who flew them. Rob Hertberg and Steve Barber of the Commemorative Air Force will share their story.

The Bombing of Darwin, also known as the Battle of Darwin (Feb. 19, 1942), was the largest single attack ever mounted by a foreign power on Australia. On that day, 242 Japanese aircraft, in two separate raids, attacked the town and ships and the town's two airfields in Darwin's harbor to prevent the Allies from using them as bases during World War II.

They are what inspired Winston Churchill to make his famous statement: “Never, in the field of human conflict, have so many owed so much to so few”.

Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, was lightly defended relative to the size of the attack, and the Japanese inflicted heavy losses upon Allied forces at little cost to themselves.

These two superb airplanes and their pilots fought multiple duels to the death over the skies of northwestern Australia. Come and see the warbirds and meet the pilots who will fly them in for this event.

WMoF Gift Shop will offer custom and EZ 2 Build Spitfire and Zero plane models plus mugs, t-shirt, caps and other memorabilia.
