The Ghost of Cape York

The story of this popular book begins during the Second World War when the pilot of a Zero, a Japanese Air Force fighter plane sights an enemy Coastwatcher's building on the eastern coast of Australia's remote Cape York Peninsular. The pilot machineguns the isolated hut, but receives crippling return fire from the Aussie Coastwatcher and some visiting United States naval personel.
Over sixty years later, the Coastwatcher's grandson and a friend make an unusual and incredible find while exploring this same remote region. This discovery connects the grandson to his grandfather's wartime experiences and culminates in a surprising supernatural ending!
