That's a beauty. It was wartime propaganda though to some degree at least, I've got a copy of it at home somewhere. It was all staged (with plenty of real footage thrown in), and I understand it was made around the time when RAF bomber command was absolutely getting hammered. But it put out a brave face for the troops, and was well received at a time when the British were stuck in a rut, and about the only response they had to the Germans were those bombing raids (before North Africa had kicked in).

Another one well worth watching is the US adaptation of "Target for Tonight", it was called "Target for Today", and goes through the whole process from the interpretation of photo recce data to pick the target, and the meteorological reports of weather over the target, through the whole mission, right up until the post mission debriefing. Very, very interesting. I just had a look for it on Youtube, but couldn't find it.

I sure hope you're listing these on our site somewhere. Don't need to host them but it's some pretty damn neat History for any wwii buffs that head our way. Give the new kids some understanding about it also.

Well only thing bad about Youtube , is the videos,Hiccup :iconjuke:

is that they can be taken down anytime, you can download a firefox extension, Hiccup, :iconjuke:

, called Download helper that will download any .FLV file to your HDD, Hiccup :iconjuke:

.. Then you can get a FLV converter and make it into anything u want, Hiccup, wma, avi, etc, etc, . OK all that typing hurt, if I remember this later on I'll get to downloading them before they disappear, :iconjuke:
