Summary "From May to July 1945, the Australian 7th and 9th Divisions, supported by Australian and US naval and air forces, and on occasion colonial Dutch units, conducted three highly planned and meticulously executed amphibious operations on various beaches around the island of Borneo. These landings - code-named Oboe - were not the water- and sand- logged bloodbaths of popular imagination. The Allies, the tide of war having long been turned in their favour, enjoyed command of the sea and the air, using both to isolate and pummel the Japanese defenders." -- Introduction.
