Memphis Belle is a 1990 WWII film starring Matthew Modine, Tate Donovan, Billy Zane, Harry Connick Jr., D.B. Sweeney, Eric Stoltz, and Sean Astin as part of a B-17 bomber crew who must complete one last mission to become the first crew to survive their entire tour. Despite being a dramatized account of the actual story, the film is notable for the amount of authentic B-17 planes used for the production.

The following weapons were used in the film Memphis Belle:



Browning M2 Aircraft

The main armament of the B-17 including the Memphis Belle is the .50 caliber Browning M2 Aircraft. This model of the B-17 (the F model) is seen in the film carrying 2 guns in the nose, twin guns in the top turret, 2 waist guns, twin guns in a ball turret, and twin guns in the tail. As the plane tries to make it home, the gunners are ordered to discard their Brownings in order to make the damaged bomber lighter to land. Also used in the wings of the USAAF P-51 Mustang fighters.
