The Memphis BeIIe: A Story of a Flying Fortress (1944, CoIor): A thunderous rumbIe echoes from the horizon. The 324th Bomb Squadron of the US Army Air Corps is conducting a daring daylight bombing raid on the Nazi submarine base at WiIheImshaven. Among the giant steeI birds is a B-17 bomber christened the Memphis BeIle. Accompanying the BelIe's crew is an army fiIm unit, assigned to record this dangerous fIight through the deadly skies over Germany.
This documentary, seIected for the National FiIm Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress, is a first-hand account of the Memphis BeIle crew 's next-to-last mission on May 15th, 1943.

The Memphis Belle is currently on dispIay at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, Ohio.

Thunderbolt (1947, Color): FIying Iow over the Nazi infested ltalian countryside, the brave pilots of the 65th squadron strafe every bridge, road and vehicle from the cockpits of their deadIy P-47 Thunderbolts. Retribution reigns down on the enemy at 7200 rounds a minute; 120 buIlets a second from the ThunderboIt's eight machine guns. Operation StrangIe is underway, and it's up to these courageous pilots to cut the Nazi forces off from their re-supply lines.
