"Memphis Belle"" of 324th Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group, Bassingbourn, U.K.; May 1943- Boeing B17F-10-BO Flying Fortress of 423rd Bomb Squadron, 306th Bomb Group at Thurleigh, UK, spring 1943";"During the Second World War, the Boeing B-17 was the best-known heavily armed strategic bomber, although with a total production of 12,677 it was far from the most numerous aircraft of its type. It kept the name ""Flying Fortress"", which it received from an American journalist at the time of its first flight.
The Boeing B-17F was the first mass-produced Flying Fortress. The most famous aircraft in this series was the B-17F-10-BO made by Boeing, which on 15 July 1942 was delivered to and put into service with the 324th Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group at Bassingbourn, England. The crew gave it the nickname ""Memphis Belle"" after the girlfriend of pilot Lieutenant Robert K. Morgan. Its fame stemmed from the fact that it was officially the first US Army Air Force bomber in Europe to survive 25 missions, and it was made the star of a Hollywood propaganda film. After this mission, the Memphis Belle and its crew were ordered back to the USA. It was later bought by the city of Memphis and put on display outdoors as a memorial.
In 2004, the B-17F underwent a complete restoration. Today, the Memphis Belle is once again accessible to the public." During the Second World War, the Boeing B-17 became synonymous with heavily armed strategic bombers.
