A news article I found about the unveiling of the Memphis Belle at it's new home at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio:
"Following a 13-year restoration effort, the National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF) in Dayton, Ohio, publicly unveiled the newly restored Boeing B-17F Memphis Belle on May 17, 2018, exactly 75 years after its crew completed its historic 25th bombing mission over Nazi-controlled Europe in 1943. The subject of a World War II bond tour and several full-length feature films, the Belle became an American icon as the first B-17 Flying Fortress to achieve the 25 combat mission mark over occupied Europe and return to the United States without a crewmember killed."
