Memphis Belle

NOOOOOOO!!!! I actually met the pilot of the Memphis Belle, Robert Morgan, and spoke to him at length because he was signing autographs for his book "The Man Who Flew The Memphis Belle" in a booth next to mine at an air show. He told me he HATED the move because it was horribly inaccurate.

Yeah... The movie Memphis Belle was a bit hard to swallow. (Read Morgan's book as well.)

LOL scene from the movie... when the B-17 formation does a go around as they can't see the target, and the want to hit the munitions plant and not the school next door. (Like carpet bombing will take care of that.)

Good grief!
