Hi Croix, I didn't know about the 1944 documentary on Memphis Belle. I remember seeing the movie based on the events when it came out in 1990 which I enjoyed at the time. I remember two elderly fellows sitting in front of us who were really absorbed in it even as the credits were still running, and wondered if they were WWII veterans.

Oranges and Sunshine (2011)
