70th Anniversary Memphis Belle Cold-Cast Bronze Sculpture

Looking for a remarkable, unequaled tribute to a beloved aviation icon? You'll be hard-pressed to do better than (or even as well as) this immaculate bronze sculpture that celebrates the storied Memphis Belle. The renowned B-17F Flying Fortress, which inspired a pair of motion pictures, became famous as one of the first B-17s to complete 25 WWII missions with its crew intact. In honor of the plane's 70th anniversary, The Bradford Exchange has released a limited production run of 7,000 hand-crafted bronze replicas that commemorate the famed heavy bomber.

In addition to its superb, built-to-last quality, the miniature boasts a phenomenal level of true-to-life detail. Everything from its USAAC markings to its pin-up girl nose art (courtesy of George Petty) to the three-blade props adorning its quartet of Wright R-1820-97 Cyclones is right on the money. Purchase also includes a fact-filled, visually pleasing Collector's Card and an elegant custom base with a golden name plaque. Measures 12" W x 8¾" L x 6¼" H (30.5cm W x 22.2cm L x 15.9cm H) and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. A magnificent homage to a WWII hero that generations of your family will be able to enjoy.
