This is an article that reported on the genuine concerns of a Japanese invasion of Australia:
“But Secretary of Navy [Frank] Knox at Washington gave out the opinion the Japs lacked sufficient naval concentration to attack Australia…It was clear to all, however, for the Japs to launch an invasion they would first have to establish air supremacy, and that, evidently, is what they have been trying to do.”
