Boeing B-17F Memphis Belle History:

The Memphis Belle, a B17F Flying Fortress is one of the most renowned aircraft in history. It became the first U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bomber in May 1943 to complete 25 missions over Europe and return to the United States.

Pilot Lt. Robert Morgan named the aircraft Memphis Belle after his wartime girlfriend, Margaret Polk, of Memphis Tennessee. The artwork came from a 1941 George Petty Illustration in Esquire Magazine which Lt. Morgan chose.
