The Boeing B-17 became synonymous with heavily armed strategic bombers during World War II. The Boeing B-17F was the first Flying Fortress to be mass-produced. The most famous machine from this series was a B-17F, which was delivered on July 15, 1942 and entered service with the 324th Bomber Squadron in England. The crew named her Memphis Belle after the friend of the pilot Lt. Robert K. Morgan. Her fame resulted from the fact that she officially became the first US Army Air Force bomber to survive 25 sorties in Europe and became the star of a Hollywood propaganda film. After this mission, the Memphis Belle and her crew were ordered to the USA. It was later bought by the City of Memphis and erected in the open air as a memorial. A total of 12,677 B-17 machines were manufactured.
