For the Belle freaks, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In has Wyler's 'The Memphis Belle' available for free watching or d/l. I've been able to save it in Windows Media Player by letting the video load and watching, then clicking on 'file', then 'Save As'. Supposedly it's color corrected, I'm watching it now and it does look better than my old VHS version. For those who want to catch a very short glimpse of B-17s in the Pacific, they also have John Ford's 'The Battle of Midway'.

This old photo from the Los Angeles Daily News archive seems to provide the date and place details of the still in my earlier post . . . Memphis Belle at Long Beach on August 19, 1943.

That is really cool, and thanks for sharing that with all of us. Question, some photos have the Belle in Red, while others have her in Blue. Which is correct?
