Battle for Australia The Battle for Australia is a contested historiographical term used to claim a link between a series of battles near Australia during the Pacific War of the Second World War . Since 2008 these battles have been commemorated by Battle for Australia Day , which falls on the first Wednesday in September . Historiography and commemoration . The Returned and Services League of Australia ( RSL ) and the Battle for Australia Commemoration National Council campaigned for over a decade for official commemoration of a series of battles fought in 1942 , including the Battle of the Coral Sea , Battle of Milne Bay and Kokoda Track Campaign , as having formed a " battle for Australia " . This campaign met with success , and in 2008 the Australian Government proclaimed that commemorations for the Battle for Australia would take place annually on the first Wednesday in September , with the day being designated " Battle for Australia Day " . This day recognises " the service and sacrifice of all those who served in defence of Australia in 1942 and 1943 " . The day is not a public holiday . Peter Stanley — the former principal historian at the Australian War Memorial — argues that the concept of a ' Battle for Australia ' is mistaken as these actions did not form a single campaign aimed against Australia . Stanley has also stated that no historian he knows believes that there was a ' Battle for Australia ' . In a 2006 speech , Stanley argued that the concept of a Battle for Australia is invalid as the events which are considered to form the battle were only loosely related . Stanley argued that " The Battle for Australia movement arises directly out of a desire to find meaning in the terrible losses of 1942 " ; and " there was no ' Battle for Australia ' , as such " , as the Japanese did not launch a co - ordinated campaign directed against Australia . Furthermore , Stanley stated that while the phrase ' Battle for Australia ' was used in wartime propaganda , it was not applied to the events of 1942 until the 1990s and that countries other than Australia do not recognise this ' battle ' of the Second World War .

Southwestern Front ( Soviet Union ) The Southwestern Front was a name given to a Front ( or Army group sized military formation ) by the Imperial Russian Army during the First World War , by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic during the Russian Civil War , and by the Red Army during the Second World War . The Southwestern Front in this article describes several distinct organizations during the Second World War . This Red Army formation was first created on June 22 , 1941 from the Special Kiev Military District .

Curtiss XP - 71 The Curtiss XP - 71 was a 1941 proposal for a United States advanced heavy escort fighter aircraft . Design and development . The proposed aircraft was to have a pressurized cockpit . Power would be provided by two Pratt & Whitney R - 4360 radial engines each driving a set of pusher contra - rotating propellers . Based on studies of heavy , long - range fighters that had been undertaken prior to the American involvement in World War II , the United States Army Air Forces initially ordered two prototypes in November 1941 . The major role for the proposed aircraft was to act as an " escort " fighter to protect heavy bombers that would have to operate over occupied Europe even if Britain was conquered . Developed around two turbo - charged 3 , 450 hp ( 2 , 572 kW ) Pratt & Whitney R - 4360 - 13 " Wasp Major " pusher radials , the XP - 71 would have been the largest fighter aircraft built in the war . The 28 cylinder four - row radial engines were still suffering teething problems ; if the proposed engines did become available , their production was completely committed to other large aircraft programs including the B - 29 Superfortress and F2G Corsair . The troublesome engine development eventually led to the B - 29 using Wright R - 3350 powerplants . The final XP - 71 design would have been larger than then contemporary B - 25 Mitchell medium bomber and was considered a complex industrial project that would have taxed the resources of the Curtiss company as it was evident that development time would stretch out well beyond the projected need for the type . At the time , Curtiss facilities were completely committed to producing existing aircraft ; due to the need to keep their production lines open for the current types on order and with shifting combat requirements , the USAAF reconsidered the need for the project before prototype construction had begun . As conditions changed and it was clear that Britain would continue to be available for forward bases , the requirement for the advanced fighter project led to the cancellation of the XP - 71 in early 1942 .
