Original Item. Only One Available. This is a signed print of “The Memphis Belle’s Historic Homecoming” by Marcus W. Stewart, signed at the bottom by Colonel Robert Morgan, Pilot of Memphis Belle. This is a limited run print, number 178 out of 500.

On May 17, 1943, the "Memphis Belle" became the first 8th Air Force B-17 to complete a combat tour of duty (25 missions). Upon its return, pilot Robert K. Morgan "buzzed" his home field of Bassingbourne, England in celebration of this heroic accomplishment.

After his history-making tour with the "Belle", Capt. Morgan continued to serve. He later piloted the B-29 Superfortress "Dauntless Dotty" and led the first B-29 raid on Tokyo. In 1965 Morgan retired from the Air Force as a colonel, and died in June 2004.

The print is in great shape but there is some staining in the top center. Ready for further research and display.
