That honour apparently belongs to the B17 `Hell's Angel' of the 303rd Bomber Group based at Molesworth.
Whilst `Memphis Belle' was the first to complete 25 missions AND return to the United States, `Hell's Angel' went on to fly a further 48 missions before returning home.
Never mind! `Memphis Belle' was still a damn good movie.
