Background:
The Boeing B-17, also known as the "Flying Fortress", became the symbol of the heavily armed
strategic bombers during World War II. The Memphis Belle version of this aircraft gained particular
fame when it became the first US Army Air Force bomber to survive 25 missions in Europe and
subsequently became the star of a Hollywood film. The Memphis Belle was erected as a memorial
in the city of Memphis after its use, and after a restoration in 2004, it is now open to the public
again. With this model kit, you can immortalize a piece of this impressive history in your own home!
