B-17F Memphis Belle

I tripped over this one accidentally this morning- isn't that always how it happens? Some wartime, bond tour,  and recent footage of the Belle that I hadn't seen before that I thought might be of interest. I would gladly pay for a copy of the eleven hours of footage that Wyler shot during the making of his film- bet there were some incredible views in them! You can sure see the difference in the OD applied to the fin subassemblies  by the various contractors that were a characteristic of B-17's in the original footage. Wonder how many bottles of Modelmaster OD it took to do the restoration? Video via You Tube.
