Plot – In May 1943 during World War II, the "Memphis Belle" takes the flight from an American airfield in England to celebrate its twenty-fifth mission over Nazi Germany. The flying fortress is piloted by a young commander, Dennis Dearborn. Onboard there are nine crew members: Luke Sinclair, the ambitious second driver; Danny Daly, the Irish-American radio operator full of ideals; Val Koslowski, the bomber; Phil Rosenthal, the navigator and a drink lover; the engineer-gunner Virgil; Jack Bocci, Eugene McVey, Clay Busby and Richard "Rascal" Morre, the four gunners. When some enemies attack the giant B-17 bomber, the mission turns dangerous, but the "Memphis Belle" completes successfully the mission and lands by chance.
