One of you may know the history related to bombing missions over Germany
better than I, but I seem to recall that the finish 25 missions and go
home policy was not implemented right from the start.
Question: Are there some unsung 36 mission vets out there who accomplished
          their feats under an old keep-going-till-you-don't-come-back era?
Question: Judging by the looks of the movie's Memphis Belle, it looks to
          be a pretty late style plane, did none of the many planes before
          it make it to 25 missions.
