Description
Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Elizabeth and the mighty Consolidated B-24 Liberator! First flown in 1939, this four engine bomber was the most produced bomber and multi-engine aircraft in history with over 19,000 aircraft built... over 6,300 more than the B-17 Flying Fortress. The B-24 was used in many different roles ranging from a strategic bomber, electronic warfare, transports, martime patrol, and much more. Military brass tended to prefer the B-24 for its versatility over the B-17, however the crews preferred the B-17. The B-24 was rapidly retired from service following WW2 because of the more modern B-29 Superfortress bombers. The B-24J (as pictured in this pinup) carried a crew of 11 and could fly a max speed of 290mph with a range of 2,100 miles. It was loaded with 10 .50 Cal machine guns in different positions and had a retractable ball turret on the belly which would also be released it necessary.Did you know you can order many of the pinups you see posted on here?

Looks great. Did you know the fully restored Memphis Belle is now on permanent display at the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio?

Thanks! And yes, I wanted to be out there for the opening of the exhibit a few weeks ago, but couldn't make it. I plan to head out there later this year to see it.

She looks incredible now. I saw her back in 2000 when she was still down in Memphis. You wouldn't believe how she looked back then:
The Memphis Belle- year 2000
But the Air Force Museum did a great job restoring her:
Museum 102
Here's the link to my Air Force Museum folder if you're interested:

I took the pictures 2 days after the Belle's unveiling. Meant to spend 3 hours- ended up spending 4.

That is really awesome! Thanks for all the links, I'm checking them out now! I really can't wait to get out there. Do you often visit the museum? Is there a best time to go in the second half of the year? I know it's busy right now with people coming to see the Belle, but I'm hoping to go during a slower time (if any) so I can get photos not packed with people.

That was the first time I've been there. I live in West Virginia, so it's almost 3 and a half to 4 hour drive for me one-way. Best time to go? On a normal day, probably in the fall or winter when school's in session- then the parents and kids won't be there. I know the Belle's is on permanent display, but the rest of the planes are changed in and out over time. I know this because I bought a book about the Museum and some of the panes and displays in the book were not on display- plus they had space capsules on loan from the Smithsonian.
