In May of 1943, the B-17 'Flying Fortress' The Memphis Belle flies one last bombing mission (her 25th) before returning with her seasoned crew to the home-front to sell war-bonds. Excellent cinematography and a true period perspective makes this documentary film a must for WW2 aviation fans. Although the film was made to 'rally' Americans in support of the war in Europe, which was just beginning to turn in the allies favour, it is reasonably matter-of-fact and not overly jingoistic. The footage of aerial combat is unfortunately grainy and jumpy, but considering the conditions under which it was obtained, remains impressive. The venerable old war-bird can now be seen in restored glory at National Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton, Ohio.
