Target for Today

No actors in this film, so they may seem a little wooden at times but they are the real deal. Really a great explanation of the strategy behind the Eighth Air Force campaigns, the flight tactics used, and the execution of a critical mission. It was especially moving for me as my Dad's air base at Kimbolton and his bomber group were mentioned and shown. The cinematography is very skillful, so I'd like to know more about who directed and shot it. You really appreciate the high level of organisation required to conduct an activity of this magnitude and the bravery of the men . For many of the men filmed this was their last day alive, and for others their last day of freedom. It is clear some of the ground film is re-inacted but with the men who flew the missions but seemingly on or near the mission day. Highly recommended for WW II buffs.
