Target: FAPA

Target: FAPA (! – originally but later inconsistently with an exclamation mark appended) was Dick Eney's FAPAzine. Especially later, as he preferred to distribute other more substantial contributions under separate titles, it contained mostly mailing comments and various minor items. Ran for several decades and many dozen issues; these however were unnumbered and undated, using only his publishing house Roman number. Some were published while Eney was working in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War from 1966.
