CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 7.2
Get an in-depth look at the final mission of the crew of the infamous Memphis Belle, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. In May 1943 it became the third U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bomber to complete 25 missions over Europe, but the first to return to the United States.
My takeA meticulously crafted historical document about courage under fire. Watch as the Memphis Belle's crew achieves an extraordinary milestone that becomes a turning point in WWII aviation—gripping, respectful, and deeply human.
