Looks like quite an extended version of the William Wyler documentary of The 1943 classic, “The Memphis Belle”. Looking for a review if anyone has this DVD. Say’s it has almost four hours of Belle footage….thanks

Rob, thanks and no problem…I was really amazed that there was enought material out there for this length of a program. I knew Col Morgan for many years and talke to him about what his crew thought of a cameraman climbing around his B-17 as they flew a mission. The famed director Willliam Wyler even went up and got some shots of the Memphis Belle landing from the ball turret. I can’t even began to wonder how hard it was to shoot film under actual combat conditions inside a B-17 ‘under fire, when one walks inside a Fort you began to see how small and cramped they are. Going to order this myself…thanks for the reply !
