Memphis Belle has weaknesses, but the air crews and ground crews were cast almost as young as they were. My dad was age 24.
Agreed, Larry. While the final mission of the real Memphis Belle was a "milk run", I thought the movie did a pretty good job of showing the experience of bomber crews in the 8th Air Force.
