Thread: Memphis Belle

    Default Memphis Belle

    For those of you that get the Smithsonian Channel there is a show tonight, 9 PM, about the Memphis Belle. Ten tomorrow night there is a show about the Battle of Midway. Have to see how both are. Usually good stuff on this channel.

    Thank you for the 'heads up', Bob. I missed the programmes but they are being repeated tonight over here together with 'Pacific War in Colour'.

    It was more about the B-17. At the end they did show the Bell at the AF Museum in Dayton.

    Ours "mysteriously" came with Mrs Clipper's Mother's Day gift of Acorn British TV several years ago . . . clever elves! Now to distract her from Agatha Christie . . . .

    There were some photos I have not seen before. When I was a kid and watched the show Twelve O'clock High I always thought I was a sad site seeing that B-17 going down. It was something to see the damage those planes took. I had an uncle (radio op) and a cousin (flight engineer, so he was the top turret gunner) but never asked about nor did they talk about the war.
