Arguably one of the most famous, if not THE most famous aircraft of WWII, the "Memphis Belle" was the first 8th Air Force aircraft to complete 25 missions over enemy held Europe.
This faithful hand-painted reproduction nose art panel of the "Memphis Belle" was created by renowned aviation artist Gary Velasco. The panel pays tribute to the aircraft and crew that completed 25 missions and came home safely, credited with 8 enemy planes shot down, 5 probables and damage to 12 others.
Made with aircraft aluminum, the hand painted panel measures 18 x 40" and is easily hangable on most walls with built in loops on the rear of the panel. This makes a great conversation piece and provides the perfect accent to any room.
The actual "Memphis Belle" is currently undergoing restoration at the United States Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. We look forward to its eventual display at the museum.
