    Haven't seen this mentioned yet on SH.TV. Got a email on 5/16/19 from Regal Crown Club News announcing a one day only showing on 5/23/19 of recently restored footage from William Wyler. The copy.

    Multiple Academy Award® winning director William Wyler went to Europe in 1943 to document the Air War in progress. Wyler flew actual combat missions with B-17's - and one of his three cinematographers was killed during filming. Incredibly, all of the raw color footage Wyler shot for THE MEMPHIS BELLE was recently discovered deep in the vaults of the National Archives, and a new film has been constructed out of the material.

    There are multiple YT vids about this. Here is one.



    Thought some of you would appreciate the heads up.
