Plane Talks allow visitors the opportunity to interact with various subject matter experts. The experts at these talks may include veterans, active duty, former pilots, crew members, engineers, navigators, and more. These experts will be stationed in the galleries near the aircraft or exhibit that relates to their expertise. These Plane Talks programs often occur on the anniversary of a significant Air Force or military event.

Memphis Belle: Her Final Mission, an one-hour documentary from our regional Public Media Connect (Dayton’s WPDT and Cincinnati’s WCET-TV), includes video from the 13-year restoration of the World War II Boeing B-17F bomber and unused film from the 1944 documentary, Memphis Belle: A Story Of A Flying Fortress.

Producer Richard Wonderling had access to 21-1/2 hours of film — 10 hours of the restoration shot by the Air Force Museum staff, and 11-1/2 hours from the 1944 film.
