Memphis Belle
« on: April 23, 2013, 07:13:20 AM »
No biggie, and not asking for a change; just wanted to let you know that the Memphis Belle WAS NOT the first 8th AF bomber to complete 25 missions.  That honor belongs to "Hells Angels" who completed their 25th on 13 May vs the 19 May of the Belle.  The HA, however, stayed on and went to complete 48 missions before doing the US bond tour route.  The Belle, was the first to come back to the US (not with the original crew BTW), and do the bond tours.  Just FYI.

The Memphis Belle PR campaign, however, was already underway.  :cool:
