Product Description:
Shot in 1944 in England and over the skies of war-torn Europe, the documentary "The Memphis Belle" is perhaps the most famous film to emerge from WWII. Filmed by legendary Hollywood director William Wyler, the movie chronicles the 25th and final combat mission of a B-17 and its crew.
A moving and real portrait of courage, "Memphis Belle" stands as the definitive chronicle of the air war.

These include "Winning Your Wings" featuring actor-turned-aviator Jimmy Stewart, "Mission Accomplished" and "The Case of the Tremendous Trifle" showing how bombing missions against Germany were planned and accomplished.
Color and black and white films. Over 110 minutes of material.Please note: this DVD is in the DVD-R format and may not be compatible with older DVD players. Check your DVD player's manual for more information.
