I’ll also give props to giving screen time to the ground crews and other supporting folks. Not just profiling the aircrew, or even more specifically pilots.

How they could lose up to half a squadron of planes (and the crews) day after day, then get up the next day and go do it again and again and again. Truly incredible men.

Strongly agree with your second as well. The bravery of those men is unfathomable. Many people (mistakenly) think June ‘44 was the start of the war in Europe. The Memphis Belle wasn’t the first crew to get 25 missions (just the most famous), but they did it over a year before Normandy.
