Sure that's not a Bf109B up there on the left? That's a mighty big intake for anything other than Spanish Civil War era...
And where's the "cheek" guns on the B-17?

That's what I would call "artistic license".

No ball turret, Belle was wearing blue on the port side was she not?

The other things I noticed were the single checkered cowl (which Memphis Belle never had) and the tail-wheel just dangling back there...

I think the artwork is based on the B-17G 'Sally B', based at Duxford. This was one of the B-17s painted as 'Memphis Belle' for the movie, in 1990. At the time, it was made to look like a B-17F, with the chin turret removed, and, as part of the payment, a ball turret was fitted, along with the earlier top turret. The aircraft was painted in OD/NG, having been in NMF, and has retained the colour scheme and markings, with the added checker cowling, and had the chin turret re-fitted.

Well then, why didn't they paint it as Sally B?

And why not get the right model of '109, in the right theater?!!

Don't forget to look at the nose art. Artist got that wrong too plus the burning engine has an unfeathered prop.

Sometimes if the engine takes certain damage, it disables the pitch...there have been many accounts where they lost the ability to feather or it has a "run away".

Well............ it's all about "private heath INSURANCE" over here.
Seems once again, you pays sh!t loads of premium per month and All it does is allows you to pay More good money to Private doctors to do what would be free if you didn't have Private health insurance!!!!!! Our premiums would More than pay for the bloody room the Private H.I. pays for!
Annie pays Hundreds per month for the two of us, and I have to pay $500 more good dollars for my shoulder op!
Now if I went in as an emergency patient and had to have emergency surgery, I would probably get the same bloody team, for FREE!
I am so over this I may go in tomorrow bloody drunk!

Someone told me Jan is having wisdom teeth inserted ....
The bl**dy lock bolt on the seat release on my mobility scooter sheared off!
If the broken end can't be drilled out, it means the seat can't be removed, which means the scooter can't be loaded into a car, which means I might be struggling at the air show this coming weekend.
B*LL*CKS !!!!
