Smokin' Sally B. - a photo on Flickriver

Smokin' Sally B.

            B-17G Flying Fortress known as "Sally B". This plane was used in the movie "Memphis Belle" and carries the logo on the opposite to Sally B as seen here. 

 I have waited 4 years to see this Beauty!! 

 Built by the Boeing Aircraft Company, the Memphis Belle was sent into active duty at the 8th Air Force in England under the command of Captain Robert Morgan. She flew from 7 November, 1942 to 17 May, 1943, during which time she became famous for being not only the first heavy bomber during World War II to complete 25 missions but also the bomber that kept her entire crew alive. All in all, the crew of the Belle had downed eight enemy fighters, dropped a payload of over 60 tons worth of bombs over Germany, France and Belgium, and had flown 148 hours and 50 minutes of combat missions, covering more than 20,000 combat miles. Although the Belle had on many occasions returned from her missions battered and with her engines shot out, none of her men ever sustained much more than a scratch
