In 1942/43, during WWII, the Memphis Belle became the first Eighth Airforce bomber to complete 25 missions without having a crewman killed and returned to the United States.

In June, the Memphis Belle returned to the U.S. for a 31 city war bond tour. In the picture are 10 crewmembers, their names and position/duties in the plane. It is signed by the Pilot, Robert Morgan. This picture was given to me by an old friend of the family who was in the Air Force during WWII and is in excellent condition. Happy Bidding!
