A nice picture of the Memphis Belle heading back to the states after completeing her 25th mission, June 9, 1943
What is neat about this picture is when you look at the big version you can see the graffiti on the fuselage. I couldn't find it, but on another thread with pictures of the Belle's restoration at the NMUSAF you could see the names still carved into the metal after stripping. Seemed to me that there were a lot more names added after this pictures. Anybody find the other thread?
Anyways a great picture none the less.
