All The Great War Movie Classic Themes On "5" Different CD's

Memphis Belle takes place in Europe during World War II and depicts the day leading
up to a B-17 crew's final mission, as well as a depiction of the mission itself. The
B-17 is named "Memphis Belle" after pilot Dennis Dearborn's girlfriend in the United
States, who is not depicted in the film other than a black and white photograph kept
on the pilot's console. In their 25th mission, the 10-man-crew is to bomb a factory
in Bremen. At first, the flight is delayed because of clouds above the target, but
finally they become airborne. Several of the crew feel sure that their luck has run
out and that they will not survive this mission. The two planes in front of them in
formation are shot down on the way to the target and Memphis Belle reaches the target
as the head of the bomb group. Several problems on the return flight cause the crew
to bond like never before, and even Luke, the hotshot copilot, comes to respect the
authority of Dennis, the pilot. During the return flight, the radio-operator, Danny,
is shot in the stomach, and the team must decide whether to parachute him or not.
However, Val, the bombardier, finds the courage to treat Danny despite only having
two weeks medical school training. The crew all make it back to base alive and have
gained a new respect for each other. The movie was dedicated to all young men who
flew and fought in the largest air conflict in history.
