"This is not a movie but an Oscar winning documentary. This is the real deal not Hollywood make-believe. When you see a plane crash those are real people dying. If you want the Hollywood version DON'T BUY THIS, because I do not want to see people saying this is not want they expected and saying this film sucks, because it doesn't.May God forbid all wars in the future."

"This is the Original WWII Memphis Bell War Department Film. For any real WWII Buff - it blasts away Hollywood's fictional account produced recently. The film is made by war photographers on real missions with real footage showing the Air War in Europe over Germany and the B-17 Memphis Bell finishing her 25th Mission. Has all the pomp and circumstance of all the WWII, "V for Victory" type patriotic movies. For the 6.99 Price Tag BUY IT!"

"While this DVD doesn't come with all the bells and whistles that many do, the film itself is superb. Not filled with flashy expensive special effects, it instead takes advantage of actual footage from the war (in my opinion far more valuable). The story it tells does deviate at times from the real details surrounding the Memphis Belle and her crew, but it certainly doesn't lose the spirit. I recomend this film to anyone who loves the B-17 and the stories that surround these great old war birds. As an extra, check out "The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle : Memoir of a World War II Bomber Pilot" which is the autobiography of the Belle's pilot, Robert Morgan."
