Original Memphis Belle - National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB
Memphis Belle is a Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress that was used during the Second ww that inspired the making of two motion pictures: a 1944 documentary film, Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress, and a 1990 Hollywood feature film, Memphis Belle. The aircraft was one of the first United States Army Air Forces B-17 heavy bombers to complete 25 combat missions with her crew intact. The aircraft and crew then returned to the United States to sell ww2 bonds. As of 2017, the aircraft was restored at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio where it is now on display.

In the summer of 2003 the Memphis Belle was dissembled and moved to a restoration facility as the former Naval Air Station Memphis in Millington, Tennessee for work.
In September 2004. however the National Museum of the United States Air Force, apparently tiring of the ups and downs of the city's attempts to preserve the aircraft, indicated that they wanted her back for restoration and eventual display at the museum at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio.
In May 2017 the museum announced the goal of completing the restoration and putting the Memphis Belle on display by 17th May 2018, the 75th Anniversary of the planes 25th mission.
On March 19th 2018 the Memphis Belle was moved into the WWII Gallery at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, and was officially unveiled May 17th 2018.
Filmed with Sony Camcorder and converted from VHS to Digital, please excuse the poorer quality by today's standard but it does show how things have improved.

WWII heroes to give congressional gold medal to Ohio museum
CINCINNATI (AP) -- More than seven decades after an audacious bombing run by the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders rallied their own nation while stunning another, the World War II heroes are still adding to their legacy.The group will receive the Congressional Gold Medal on April 15 in Washington then present it on April 18 the 73rd anniversary of the raid to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. The gold medal will go on display at the museum near Dayton, Ohio, joining an exhibit depicting the launch from an aircraft carrier of the Raiders' daring 1942 attack on Japan.The only two surviving Raiders retired Lt. Col. Richard Dick Cole and Staff Sgt. David Thatcher plan to attend the museum ceremony. A third Doolittle Raider, Lt. Col. Robert Hite, died Sunday at a Nashville, Tennessee, nursing facility. He was 95.Relatives of the 80 Raiders also are expected to attend the weekend of events, some of them private.The medal is for 80 people, said Cole, an Ohio native who now lives in Comfort, Texas.The gold medal the highest civilian honor Congress can give is also a tribute to the mission's leader, the late Gen. James Jimmy Doolittle, Cole said. Doolittle died in 1993.While the 16 B-25 bombers launched at sea inflicted only scattered damage on Japan, the attack was credited with boosting American morale while shaking Japan's confidence and prompting strategy shifts less than five months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.We did everything that the mission was planned to do, said Cole, who was Doolittle's co-pilot.Cole, 99, and the other Raiders have often given humble assessments of their heroism, saying they were simply performing their duties, and he did again last week when discussing the gold medal.I think it's very nice, said Cole, who attended President Barack Obama's signing last year of the legislative measure to strike the gold medal. But it was something that might be a bit too much.The museum's director, retired Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson, praised the Raiders' supreme example of courage, professionalism, creativity, leadership and patriotism when announcing plans for the gold medal display, promising that their inspirational story will live on at the museum.Eight Raiders were captured and three were executed; one more died in captivity and three others were killed after crash-landing or ditching at sea. In previous years, Hite, who was among the Japanese captives, had been unable for health reasons to travel to Raider events from his Nashville, Tennessee, home. His son said Hite had been battling Alzheimer's disease before his death Sunday.Years after Hite and others were liberated by American troops in 1945, Hite returned to active duty during the Korean War. His son said Hite would want to be remembered for his patriotism.I think he would want two things: that's the attitude we ought to have about our country; and the second is, he was just doing his job, Wallace Hite said.At the museum ceremony, Cole and Thatcher, of Missoula, Montana, plan to drink a toast to those who have gone before them. They use specially engraved silver goblets for their traditional toasts.Of their slowly dwindling numbers, Cole, the oldest of the two survivors, said: Something's just got to give.Follow us on Twitter @Local12 and LIKE us on Facebook for updates!

Contemporary extension of the Hunter Museum of American Art
As the birthplace of the tow truck, Chattanooga is the home of the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum.[106] Another transportation icon, the passenger train, can be found at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, called TVRM by locals, which is the largest operating historic railroad in the South. Chattanooga is home to the Hunter Museum of American Art. Other notable museums include the Chattanooga History Center, the National Medal of Honor Museum, the Houston Museum, the Chattanooga African American Museum, and the Creative Discovery Museum.[107][108][109][110][111]
Arts and literature
Chattanooga has a wide range of performing arts in different venues. Chattanooga's historic Tivoli Theatre, dating from 1921 and one of the first public air-conditioned buildings in the United States, is home to the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera (CSO), which became the first merged symphony and opera company in the United States in 1985. The CSO performs under the baton of Kayoko Dan.[112] The Chattanooga Theatre Centre offers 15 productions each year in three separate theater programs: the Mainstage, the Circle Theater, and the Youth Theater.[113][114] Another popular performance venue is Memorial Auditorium.
Chattanooga hosts several writing conferences, including the Conference on Southern Literature and the Festival of Writers, both sponsored by the Arts & Education Council of Chattanooga.[115][116][117]
Attractions
Chattanooga touts many attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium, caverns, and new waterfront attractions along and across the Tennessee River. In the downtown area is the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, housed in the renovated Terminal Station. Also downtown are the Creative Discovery Museum, a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music; an IMAX 3D Theatre, and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The Tennessee Riverwalk, an approximately 13-mile-long (21 km) trail running alongside the river, is another attraction for both tourists and residents alike.
Across the river from downtown is the North Shore district, roughly bounded by the Olgiati Bridge to the west and Veterans Bridge to the east. The newly renovated area draws locals and tourists to locally owned independent boutique stores and restaurants, plus attractions along the Chattanooga Riverpark system, including Coolidge Park and Renaissance Park.[118][119]
The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park is located a short distance from the downtown area.
Parks and natural scenic areas provide other attractions. The red-and-black painted See Rock City barns along highways in the Southeast are remnants of a now-classic Americana tourism campaign to attract visitors to the Rock City tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The mountain is also the site of Ruby Falls and Craven's House.[120] The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is a steep funicular railway that rises from the St. Elmo Historic District to the top of the mountain, where passengers can visit the National Park Service's Point Park and the Battles for Chattanooga Museum.[121] Formerly known as Confederama, the museum includes a diorama that details the Battle of Chattanooga. From the military park, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Moccasin Bend and the Chattanooga skyline from the mountain's famous point or from vantage points along the well-marked trail system.[122]
The Heritage park is a park that lies in East Brainerd. Heritage park has a bocce ball court, a playground complete with swings, and a walking pavement. The park also features an off-leash dog park which is operated by the Friends of East Brainerd, the City of Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department, McKamey Animal Center and the Goodwill Assistance Dog Academy.
Near Chattanooga, the Raccoon Mountain Reservoir, Raccoon Mountain Caverns, and Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden boast a number of outdoor and family fun opportunities. Other arboretums include Bonny Oaks Arboretum, Cherokee Arboretum at Audubon Acres, and Cherokee Trail Arboretum. The Ocoee River, host to a number of events at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, features rafting, kayaking, camping, and hiking. Just outside Chattanooga is the Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park. The Cumberland Trail begins in Signal Mountain, just outside Chattanooga.
