8vo., First Edition, with illustrations from the film throughout; newly bound in boards, upper board with printed paper label, ORIGINAL WRAPPERS PRESERVED, a fine copy. Directed by the great Harry Watt, 'Target for Tonight' is one of a half-dozen or so classic British documentaries of WWII, on a par with 'Western Approaches' and 'Desert Victory'. Produced by the Crown Film Unit for the Air Ministry on behalf of the Royal Air Force, the story of Wellington 'F for Freddie' has passed into RAF and cinematic legend. The leading British tabloid newspaper the 'Daily Express' seized the commercial opportunity to produce this record, profusely illustrated with stills from the film, including several shots of the then Commander-in-Chief Bomber Command Sir Richard Peirse. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
