One of the most thrilling stories dating back to World War II revolves around the Boeing B-17 bomber "Memphis Belle," the first plane to complete 25 missions with its crew intact and bolster the morale of U.S. airmen.
The plane was the subject of a 1944 documentary film, "Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress," and a 1990 film, "Memphis Belle," starring Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz, Harry Connick Jr. and Sean Astin.
