Background information:

The Boeing B-17 became a legend in World War II and is symbolic of the heavily armed strategic 

bombers of the time. The B-17F Memphis Belle, which was named after the pilot's girlfriend and 

was the first bomber of the US Army Air Force in Europe to survive 25 missions, became particularly 

famous. It later became the star of a Hollywood film and now stands as a monument in the city of 

Memphis. With this kit, you can bring a piece of history home and relive the impressive engineering 

of these machines.
