"The Memphis Belle" - the movie - conveys a feeling of what it was like to be a part of a
"Flying Fortress" crew. The aerial segments are powerful and as close to real as possible for a movie. The mass take off scene
is outstanding. It is available on both VHS tape and DVD at most rental outlets (incidently, the real "Memphis Belle"
is on display in Memphis, TN).

history located at Millington airport in the NW metro Memphis area.
