Back Cover Summary[]
The big four-engined bombers droned their way north over the sea, a few miles out from the Eastern coast of the USA. They kept tight formation, flying fast and low. If anyone had seen them, they would have been mistaken for American planes on a training flight…except that there was no one to see them. And this was deliberate, for they were Junkers 290s of the Luftwaffe - and their target was New York.
Misc[]
The title was originally published as "Bomb New York!" in 1976 and reprinted with the same name in 1990. However, the 2015 reprint was renamed "Target Ahead" out of sensitivity to the 9/11 bombing of New York. The author's original title, according to Calum Laird at DC Thomson, was "The Night They Bombed Manhattan" but at the time may have been seen too long.
