I love the Belle and I, like many others, will see her in person one day. I would like also to meet her pilot Col. Morgan. I grew up around aircraft, my father being a crew chief on T-6s, T-Birds(T-33), Dueces, Huns, Sixes and the F-4. Two years ago I was going through some negatives at my mom's house. They had belonged to my uncle he had recently died and most of the pics and negs. were given to my mom. While browsing I came across 4 B-17 shots taken at Detroit city airport. In one negative there was something just to familiar about that pattern on the wheel. My goodness I yelled this is the Belle. I was almost crying. My mom says oh didn't I ever tell you about that. I was almost 47 at the time and i told my mom I think for my interest in anything aviation I would have remembered that. The Belle had stopped in Detroit as part of her War Bond tour. I had those printed and 2 of them will make great 8x10s or larger when I get the money. Our local specialty shop charges an arm and a leg for by hand printing of old negs. When printed this year I would love to have them autographed by Col Morgan if possible.
