The Second World War was entering its darkest period when Allied intelligence revealed there were new horrors in store and this time they were targeting civilians on home soil, no less. A secret arms race using the cutting edge of technology to create an unmanned flying bomb was taking place in underground bunkers across German-controlled Europe. Suddenly, the enemy had London firmly in their sights. Allied forces rallied and intelligence slowly trickled in to reveal the true scale and horror of the German long-range rocket project: underground slave labour factories in France had stockpiled 30,000 flying bombs which were to be released in late 1943, one every twelve minutes, in a horrifying attempt to crush the British civilian morale. TARGET LONDON reveals the race to thwart the German flying bombs before they razed London to the ground.
