Gregory Peck starred in Twelve O'Clock High, the movie based on the dramatic tale.  William Wyler, noted Oscar winning Hollywood  director, made a spectacular War Dept. film (documentary) on the Belle for distribution through the nation's movie houses.  Now comes the Memphis Belle book to reveal the shattering reality of an air war over Europe and the poignant struggle of America's winged warriors when they came home to rebuild their lives.  

Of course, we all remember:
