In case some of you are interested in the book "Spitfires over Darwin 1943", that was mentioned in previous posts on this thread. It has recently been republished. I think it's now in it's 4th re-print and into the 2nd (updated) edition.
I've not noticed it in any Western Australian bookshops, but have just received my copy purchased directly from the publishers. Contact details as follows:

It set me back $32.50 (Aust dollars), including postage within Australia.
