The original Miss Liberty Belle, B-17G serial number 42-31255, flew 64 complete missions out of Cheveston, England, but was lost near the end of her 65th mission on August 3, 1944. 44-83690 is painted in the colors and markings of Miss Liberty Belle to honor this crew and all who flew for the 305th Bomb Group. Thanks go to Ian White from the 305th Bomb Group Memorial Association for filling in the details on the original Miss Liberty Belle.
