Product description : Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress ′Memphis Belle′
The B-17F Memphis Belle by Revell in 1:72 scale is a highly detailed replica of one of the most iconic bombers of World War II. The Memphis Belle is famous for being one of the first B-17 bombers to complete 25 combat missions over Europe and return safely to the United States. This model kit is designed for military aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, offering a faithful reproduction of the bomber with meticulous details.
Historical Description:
The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most famous aircraft of World War II, primarily used by the U.S. Army Air Forces. Designed for long-range bombing missions, it became a symbol of American air power. The Memphis Belle, in particular, made history as one of the first B-17 bombers to complete 25 missions without being shot down. This achievement turned the Memphis Belle into a legend, and it has been the subject of films and documentaries celebrating its exploits.
The Memphis Belle was piloted by Captain Robert K. Morgan and his crew, who all survived these perilous missions. After completing its 25th flight, the aircraft and its crew were sent back to the United States to participate in a war bond tour, boosting morale and encouraging the sale of war bonds. Today, the real Memphis Belle is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, where it continues to inspire future generations.
