BMI Plant, Aviada Display- Real Memphis Belle and crew visit

Sat Jun 28, 2014 9:47 pm

A massive complex was built in WWII to refine ore to produce Magnesium in Nevada.
I came across some interesting info-
A preview of a Google book has photos of The Memphis Belle Crew touring the plant in July of 43. Page 76-77.
There was a display of War items at the plant shown on page 80 including ME109 Fuselage

A variety of Images from the Aviada Display at the plant which include a Japanese Engine and Prop, P-40 Fuselage, Crashed parts of A/C ect
