Target for Today

1944NR1h 30m7.2

Documentary about one bombing mission over Germany by the American Eighth Air Force, from the initial planning of the mission thru its final completion, with all of its intricacies from beginning to end.

A documentary on the US 8th Air Force's bombing campaign against Germany in World War 2. In particular we see what goes into a bombing mission: the high-level planning and decision-making, how the order is then cascaded down through the organisation, how it is translated into lower-level plans and operations, the individual groups' preparations for the mission, the mission itself and the aftermath.
