Went to the Mighty 8th Air Force museum today. It's not an airplane museum, instead, its a museum about the people who made up the 8th air force. Pilots, aircrew, ground crews, etc.
I LOVE old movie posters. In fact, I'm trying to start a collection of them. They had a no bullshit original poster from the release of the Memphis Belle movie.
That is original nose art from a B17 that did 45- FORTY FIVE- missions over Europe. It was eventually sold (for $350) to the PA Institute of Technology so students could practice repairs. They saved the art and when the airplane was scrapped, donating this piece to the museum. Never touched.
