EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, specifically the aircraft with the registration number G-BEDF and manufacturing serial number 44-85784, popularly known as Sally B. Painted in the distinctive livery of the Memphis Belle, one of the most famous B-17 bombers from World War II, this historic aircraft is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Allied forces. The B-17G, a variant of the B-17 Flying Fortress, was a long-range, four-engine heavy bomber produced by Boeing. It was primarily used in daylight bombing raids over Germany during the European theater of World War II. The Memphis Belle, named after the girlfriend of its commander, completed 25 combat missions without suffering a single scratch, making it the first B-17 to complete the European tour of duty with an entire crew. In this photograph, taken circa 2000, Sally B, now a cherished piece of aviation history, is seen in pristine condition, showcasing the timeless beauty and engineering prowess of the B-17G Flying Fortress. The intricate details of its paint job, the gleaming metal surface, and the powerful engines all contribute to its awe-inspiring presence. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of military aviation and the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who flew these magnificent machines during wartime.
