The picture shown does not reflect the actual autographed photo.  It is a beautifully matted and framed photo of the Memphis Belle, with authentic signatures of Captain Morgan and the other surviving members in 1998.  Their signatures are captured on the photo along with their positions in the original aircraft.  This is a valuable historical treasure.  Shipping & Handling is not included.

Memphis Belle was the nickname of a B-17F Flying Fortress during the Second World War that inspired the making of two motion pictures: a 1944 documentary film: Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress and a 1990 Hollywood feature film: Memphis Belle. In May 1943 it became one of the first U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bombers to complete 25 combat missions and return to the United States to sell war bonds.  The original airplane is undergoing extensive restoration at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, OH.

The plane was named for pilot Robert K. Morgan's sweetheart, Margaret Polk, a resident of Memphis, Tennessee. Morgan originally intended to call the plane Little One, after his pet name for her, but his crew had seen the movie Lady for a Night, in which the leading character owns a riverboat named the Memphis Belle, and as this name also fit Morgan's wishes, he chose it instead. Morgan then contacted George Petty at the offices of Esquire magazine and asked him for a pinup drawing to go with the name, which Petty supplied from the magazine's April 1941 issue.
