It's May 1943 at a US Army Air Force base in England and four officers and six enlisted men of the Memphis Belle, the B-17 bomber nicknamed for the girlfriend of its captain, Dennis Dearborn, return from their twenty-fifth mission.
The war has taken its toll with fewer and fewer planes coming back from their missions. This video was developed for the purpose of uplifting the spirits of everyone with the story of the first squad to complete their 25 missions. Although the first airplane to officially finish their 25th mission was not the Memphis Belle, the department of defense used the Memphis Belle as the first official US Army Air Force squad to complete their tour of duty.
This film depicts the action of the entire crew, support, aircrew, briefings, and the actual flight. The entire video is taken from actual videos recording events that took place duringWWII.
