Soaring above the land and sea in B-17 Flying Fortresses, thousands of American servicemen risked their lives to help bring to an end to the national embodiment of perhaps the most evil ideology the world has ever known.
During World War II, director William Wyler and three cinematographers compiled more than a dozen hours of footage for his film, “The Memphis Belle: A Story Of A Flying Fortress.” The documentary served as an up-close look at the lives of B-17 pilots, navigators, radio operators, gunners, and bombardiers during their time in the skies above Germany.
