The B-17 Flying Fortress, "Memphis Belle", piloted by then Captain Robert K. "Bob" Morgan USAAC, was one of the 12,750 B-17's built by the Boeing Aircraft Company. Morgan made the Memphis Belle one of the most famous heavy bombers in the European Theater of WWII by flying her to complete 25 combat missions and returning with her entire crew alive. She flew for 7 months from 7 November 1942 until 17 May 1943. After a movie of the same name, the original Belle was restored and is currently being displayed in a museum. The model is hand autographed by Colonel Robert Morgan and includes a Certificate of Authenticity and photo. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
