What the heck does this section mean

I was able to figure out what a great deal of it actually means, but I couldn't get the whole intent of this section:

During the air attacks in 1942-42 times,if distacated the role occupied by local desing RAAF interceptors Commonwealth CA-1 "Wirraway"(one of theirs destroyed one Mitsubishi A6M ) and Commonwealth CA-13 "Boomerang",along Australian Army Antiaircraft units in defense of nation.

Any ideas? --Easter Monkey 11:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me, the whole article needs a rewrite. --Easter Monkey 17:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If someone can find the actual quote, please feel free. In any case, here is the section in question in its full gibberishhood:

Australian preparation for a Japanese Invasion

Australian Prime Minister John Curtin, envisioned such danger and translated the anxiety of own people in a message directed to Washington on March 13,1942:

"Australia was the last allied battle between the west coast of America and Japan. If ours falling the American land if encounter opened to subsequent enemy invasion. It affirmed why saved to Australia, was saved to west coasts of United States.own people fighting in enemy invasion success, until the last man, also ours practised scorched land policy"

In Australia during this period there were directives aimed at the civil population in case of any Japanese Armed Forces naval disembarkations or airborne troops landings at in the territories. During the air attacks in 1942-42 times,if distacated the role occupied by local desing RAAF interceptors Commonwealth CA-1 "Wirraway"(one of theirs destroyed one Mitsubishi A6M ) and Commonwealth CA-13 "Boomerang",along Australian Army Antiaircraft units in defense of nation.

Needs a lot of work

While this is an interesting topic, as it currently stands this article is riddled with incorrect information and some of it appears based on the false belief that the Japanese ever began preperations to invade Australia (as the proposal to carry out an invasion was quickly rejected no such preperations took place). In particular, the statements attributed to Kenosuke Sato need to be qualified as some of them are clearly incorrect (for instance, that the inital bombing of Darwin was conducted as a preliminary to an invasion - the bombing was actually related to the invasion of the Dutch East Indies and the Japanese never intended to follow it up with an invasion force).

An appropriate avenue for future redevelopment of the article may be to strip it back to just the facts, and move the coverage of the Japanese attacks on Australia into a seperate article. --Nick Dowling 01:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
