Memphis Belle - Dispelling the Myths |
The story of the men, the women and an aircraft that has become an all-American icon.  At 11.30am on Friday 29 August 2008 at the Tower Museum Bassingbourn , authors Graham Simons and Dr Harry Friedman will launch their book, ‘Memphis Belle - Dispelling the Myths’.
2008 is the 65th anniversary of the Memphis Belle, a B-17 Flying Fortress, completing her 25th officially credited combat mission. It is the same anniversary year of the aircraft and crew's massive 76-day War Bond Tour that criss-crossed the mainland USA and was seen by millions - the launch of this book has been timed to perfection. This in-depth book - which has taken 30 years to research and 3 years to write - is not only groundbreaking in its content, but it takes historical and aviation research compiling to a completely new level.
