There’s an excellent WW2 short film, made at the time, all about the amazing Memphis Belle and the exploits of her crew.  It’s on a video DVD I got from my public library entitled “WWII in color. The British story.”  Excellently narrated by the great John Thaw, there are lots of ‘extras’ on the DVD, one of which is the film about Memphis Belle.  ISBN 1585659347
