    Iv'e got a copy on vhs. When I was in Jr high school in Vermont one of the social studies teachers Mr. Allendorf made a point to show that old signal corps movie every year. He was probably the coolest teacher I ever had.

    First thank you for sharing this. I have not seen it before. Second, I hope we can keep the spirit alive for the next generation that needs it.

    What would be cool is to fly the same route as the 25th mission in the Memphis Belle herself! Sans ordnance of course....

    I remember seeing this years ago, thx for posting!
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?
