During World War II, the Boeing B-17 was the best-known heavily armed strategic bomber, although with a total build of 12,677 it was far from the most numerous plane of its type. It kept the name 'Flying Fortress' that it received from an American journalist at the time of its first flight. The Boeing B-17F was the first mass-produced Flying Fortress. The crew gave it the nickname 'Memphis Belle' after the lady-friend of the pilot Lt. Robert K. Morgan. After this mission the Memphis Belle and its crew were ordered back to the USA. Later it was bought by the city of Memphis and set up as a memorial in the open air. In 2004 the B-17F underwent a complete restoration. Today the Memphis Belle is again accessible to the public.
