Description
The story of the Memphis Belle is legendary. One of the first colour histories of WW2 the extraordinary colour footage remains as breathtaking as ever.
Now producer William Woollard has produced a definitive two-part two-hour production adding more than 60% of remarkable hitherto unseen footage.

Extra footage features colour pictures of the first long distance raid on Ploesti in Romani as well as a full study of the development of the B17s and the B29’s, the never produced Douglas B19 and the awesome U.S. build up of men and machines that finally defeated the Luftwaffe and vindicated the deadly policy of daylight bombing.
