Storyline
It's May 1943 at a US Air Force base in England. The four officers and six enlisted men of the Memphis Belle - a B-17 bomber so nicknamed for the girlfriend of its stern and stoic captain, Dennis Dearborn - will soon start their twenty-fifth mission, having completed their previous twenty-four successfully with nary an incident, while fewer and fewer other planes are coming back from their missions at all. If they complete their next mission successfully, they will be the first US Air Force squad to complete their tour of duty. Visiting communications officer Lt. Col. Bruce Derringer wants to publicize and highly tout their accomplishment, even before it happens, as a long term good news campaign at a time when there is little good news to report. Derringer's plan is against the wishes of the base commander, Col. Craig Harriman, who would prefer to treat the ten as any of his other hard working men... Written by Huggo

Trivia
The movie's closing epilogue says: "Over a quarter of a million aircraft battled for supremacy in the skies over Western Europe, and nearly 200,000 air-crew lost their lives." See more »Goofs
Factual errors: Several times during the mission, two crew members (pilot and co-pilot, bombardier and navigator, the two waist gunners) talk to each other with slightly-raised voices without using the intercom. This would have been impossible in real life. The B-17 was a combat aircraft with no soundproofing insulation. To be heard, one crewman would have to place their mouth next to the ear of the other crewman and shout at the top of their voice in order to be heard over the noise of the engines.
