Memphis Belle

Post by David Beer »

I believe to have an item of memorabilia from the Memphis Belle. It is what I believe to possibly be an arm patch that would go down the sleeve of an airman's leather jacket. What I have is a leather image, and an identical replica of the nose art of the girl painted on the nose of the Memphis Belle. She is the girl in the red bathing suit, painted on the left side of the aircraft. I know it's her! The man that gave this to me is long since passed. But when I saw the movie. It was the same story that this man told me. However, I cannot find no mention of his name associated with the Memphis Belle. Can anyone tell me more about this patch? I also have his silk map of Europe and aerial bombing photos.

What was the gents name? He could have been ground crew for the aircraft and given the patch as a memento?
