Memphis
Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress
This
film is a war documentary produced by one of the "Hollywood Colonels,"
William Wyler, who joined the Air Force Film unit and recorded the
sights
and sounds of the last mission of a B-17 bomber known as the Memphis
Belle,
named after the girlfriend of the pilot. A narrator told the story of
the
10 crewmen as examples of simple average American boys doing a tough
job.
The men and plane were filmed during the bombing raid on the submarine
base in Wilhelmshafen, Germany, "just one mission of just one plane
and
one crew in one squadron in one group of one wing of one Air Force out
of fifteen United States Army Air Forces." Wyler in fact combined
footage
from several missions to represent this last 25th mission of the plane,
a mission that was actually a milk run with no casualties and no
difficult
landing. From October 1943 to March 1944, Wyler edited in the U.S. the
20,000 feet of film he shot in Europe, producing a 42-minute color film
that was considered beautiful and dramatic. VHS Tape
