“They flew. They fought. They died. They won.”
A meditation on youth, war and stunning bravery, featuring footage, taken from the National Archives, from the documentary filmed in 1943 by legendary Hollywood director William Wyler about the famous Memphis Belle flying fortress and the gripping narration from some of the last surviving B-17 pilots.
This film feels like a somber, reflective journey back to the skies of WWII. It's a harrowing yet nostalgic look at the bravery of young men, told through gripping archival footage and the voices of those who were there.
