Target for To-night (1941)
Excellent documentary, showing the reality of the planning and execution of wartime bombing missions.

This film was made using actual service men and women of the Royal Air Force, as a wartime morale-booster. When viewed over fifty years later, it is still utterly fascinating to watch the planning and execution of the raid over Germany, and in particular follow the progress of F for Freddie and her crew. For once we can be sure that this is how it was done, it has the sense of realism that most dramas lack. I have a personal interest in Target for Tonight, as my grandfather worked on the crew as a carpenter; he in fact worked for the Crown Film Unit throughout the war.
