I did not know this: on May 17, 2018, 75 years after the plane finished it's 25th mission, the actual plane was put on display at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio.
I first heard about the Memphis Belle, and saw the famous documentary on that plane, at that very museum when I was a child!
Synchronicity.

India became the first country that welcomed all Polish refugees, so they could live in peace. The Red Cross and British consulates in Poland began a long process of arranging the transport of these children. Six hundred and forty girls and boys, along with hundreds of other adults traveled thousands of miles in a ship. Any teenager over the age of 15 was given asylum in the country, and adult men were allowed to live and work there as refugees, as well."
