An important companion piece to Wyler's classic and a powerful stand-alone film.

Hollywood Reporter
The film portrays the daily existence of the young men of the Eighth Air Force, whose experiences flying impossibly exhausting and terrifying daily bombing missions come alive via the recollections of nine surviving veterans.

Rating: 3/5 --
'The Cold Blue' gives a real sense of what it was like to be strapped into one of these jolting, juddering, bomb-filled crates. They were called the greatest generation for a reason.

Time Out
Cold Blue, rich with colour, spectacle and detail is an evocative reminder of a terrible time in world history, beautiful, tragic, mundane, terrifying and terribly human.

Film Ireland Magazine
The visuals captured by Wyler's crew are overpoweringly mesmerizing. Even in the midst of combat, there's an unreal quality to the 16mm footage. It could almost be counted against the film that it doesn't quite convey the danger.

Rating: 4/5 --
Erik Nelson's documentary combines digitally restored footage that was hidden in a vault for decades with the disembodied memories of 8th Air Force veterans to create a moving and oddly beautiful experience.

Irish Independent
The Cold Blue's imagery is its nominal calling card, and its sights are apt to send shivers down one's spine-including, most poignantly, its portraits of youthful faces.

Product Description:
William Wyler, a notable filmmaker, directed the film ""Memphis Belle"" in 1943 to pay homage to a World War II bomber of the same name. Documentarian Erik Nelson weaves footage captured by Wyler and currently stored at the National Archives together with intimate narrations from the remaining B-17 pilots to shed new light on this significant historical event.
