Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress (1944)

Tagged: , Educational, WWII, by Kevin

060517-f-1234s-021“The Memphis Belle,” directed by William Wyler, is a tribute to the crew
of the United States Air Force’s 324th Squadron, 91st Heavy Bomber Unit, an airplane more familiarly known as the Memphis Belle. At the beginning of the film, the Belle’s crew had successfully completed twenty-four missions in the toughest theater of the air war in Europe, flying bombing raids deep into Nazi territory. Cameras accompany the Belle on
its twenty-fifth mission. If the crew returns with its mission accomplished, they will qualify for release from active duty, to be sent home as teachers and heroes. The film provides a first-person perspective of a World War II bombing raid, showing how it feels to be threatened by “flak [enemy fire] so thick you can get out and walk on it.” Much of the film salutes those less fortunate than the crew of theMemphis Belle, who wear the weight of their experience in “faces [that] have watched their comrades die.”

    No problems I can find. If you need to let the movie buffer because of a slow connection, use pause on the player.

    Pat- you will need to look at the FAQ file and consider your own internet service and/or system to resolve the many, many problem files you have reported.
