Target For Tonight: The WWII Oscar Winning Documentary | Battlezone | War Stories

In WWII the RAF regularly performed reconnaissance missions on German targets for their bombers. In 1941 the British Crown Film Unit captured this process, from planning to the raid itself. Using real pilots and officers as its cast the film recreates one of these missions. The film went on to win and Academy Award in 1942 for best documentary.
