Product Information
The Memphis Belle is formally known as the Boeing B-17F, a heavy bomber that was used during World War 2 by the United States Army Air Cops and the Royal Air Force.
It was often called the Flying Fortress too, due to its huge wingspan, heavy bomb load, multiplicity of weaponry and its resilience to combat damage.
The famed B-17F "Memphis Belle" belonged to the 8th Air Force. It flew a total of 25 missions, withstood numerous fighter attacks and suffered flak damage. It later returned to the USA and can be seen today in Memphis, Tennessee.
