B-17 Belle in Training

Greetings
I was wondering if anybody has pictures of the Belle when she returned home after the war bond tour and went into training would be very interested to know how many crews she might of help train.

The two-disc commerative DVD set of the "Memphis Belle" documentary has some footage of the Belle on her war bond tour. I didn't realize she later went to a training unit.

The Belle was at McDill after the home tour and stayed there until April 1945. A lot of crews flew her in training.
