About the Print:
19 May 1943 - The "Memphis Belle" lifts off from RAF Bassingbourn on her 25th and final mission. The "Belle" and her crew became the first to complete 25 missions over Europe and return to the U.S. Her final mission was piloted by Lt. C.L. Anderson as her original crew, led by Capt. Robert K. Morgan, had already completed their 25th mission and were headed back to the U.S. to begin their publicized War Bond Tour.
About the Artifacts:
All 25 fragments of the "Memphis Belle" originated during an early restoration effort in 1987-88 when the "Belle" was located in Mud Island in Memphis, Tennessee. Each piece includes medium green paint and zinc chromate on the back. During this time period, she was housed under an outdoor canopy and was under the supervision of the Memphis Belle Memorial Association (MBMA). From the Glenn Parker collection.
