Description: Further DetailsTitle: Academy B-17F Flying Fortress "Memphis Belle"Condition: NewDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The B-17 Flying Fortress MEMPHIS BELLE(Serial No. 41-24485) was the most famous bomber, because she was the first heavy bomber in Hitler's European war theater to complete 25 combat missions and keep her entire crew alive. She flew for 10 months from November 7, 1942 to May 17, 1943. The BELLE shot down eight enemy fighters, probably destroyed five others, and damaged at least a dozen more. She dropped more than 60 tons of bombs over Germany, France, and Belgium. During her 25 missions she flew 148 hours, and covered more than 20,000 combat miles. The MEMPHIS BELLE was named for pilot Capt. Robert K.Morgan's wartime sweetheart, Ms. Margaret Polk. The preserved MEMPHIS BELLE remains on display at Mud Island in Memphis, Tennessee. FROM THE MANUFACTURER This is an Academy plastic model kit. The "Memphis Belle" was one of the first 4-engine B-17's to complete 25 bombing missions in WWII. This actual plane inspired two movies,a 1944 documentary, and a 1990 motion picture. Academy's 17" wingspan, 1/72 scale version, leaves nothing out. This plastic model kit includes fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail, highly detailed cockpit and bomb bay, positionable landing gear and bomb bay door, and historic markings for the "Memphis Belle". Also included are decals for the "Miss Ouchita".
