The Remarkable Story Of America's Invincible B-17. This is the remarkable story of the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress that survived 25 bombing runs through the fighter filled skies over Germany during World War 2. B-17 crews conducted daylight raids without fighter escorts and suffered staggering losses during the early days of the European campaign. The Memphis Belle was the first to complete 25 combat missions and keep her entire crew alive. Her blazing trail of invincibility made her famous the world over.
