The Memphis Belle was the first B-17 'Flying Fortress' to complete its 25 missions of daytime bombing during WW2. Very interesting story!

This Book was excellent! I could not put it down! Merrick really describes how life at 25,000 feet can be frightening and exhilirating at the same time. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

I finally got hold of this book a couple of years ago, and just cna'r stop reading it. I love the film to bits (despite its inaccuracies!). I fyou have seen the film, this book will explain amny things which are not immediately obvious in it, if you haven't, it should inspire you to!
One of the best books I've ever read!

Very hard to put down! Graphic details show how it would have been at 25,000 feet in the air trying to stay alive while beig shot at from everuy possible angle.
