| 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 flightàexcept 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. |
| |
| Introduction |
| When originally published, this story was called "Bomb New York!" |
| |
| However, even though it appeared long beforehand, we don't want to |
| appear insensitive to the events of September 11, 2001, so the book has |
| been re-named "Target Ahead!" |
| |
| Going purely by the visuals, we immediately know what the tale is |
| going to be about, thanks to Ian Kennedy's superb realisation of |
| Manhattan - and those Luftwaffe aircraft hurtling towards the |
| unmistakable metropolis with deadly intent. There was that original |
| title, too, which you can see below. After consulting our records, the |
| tale came to us via top scriptwriter Alan Hebden's typewriter bearing |
| the slightly more poetic legend, "The Night They Bombed Manhattan". |
| Presumably at the time Ian's cover was deemed too action-packed to |
| fit all those words on! |
