Seems that the B17 `Memphis Belle was NOT the first USAAF aircraft to complete 25 missions over Europe during World War II.
That honour apparently belongs to the B17 `Hells Angel of the 303rd Bomber Group based at Molesworth.
Whilst `Memphis Belle was the first to complete 25 missions AND return to the United States, `Hells Angel went on to fly a further 48 missions before returning home.
Never mind! Its still a *** good movie.
