"The B-24J Liberator is one of the variants of the liberators and the largest amount of liberators ever produced. All in all there are 6,678 B-24Js produced. The aircraft is somewhat similar to the B-24G and H models. The only difference between the B-24J and the two models is the autopilot and bombsight feature. The defensive modifications completed in the B-24H were not included in the B-24J model. The B-24J has an improved Type C1 autopilot and an M-1 series bombsight. In 1944, the Army predicts a lesser amount of demands for Liberators. They regulated that the three plants be freed up for new purposes. In 1945, only Ford-Willow Run and Convair-San Diego continued developing B-24 aircrafts. The B-24J Liberator is a heavy bomber aircraft that was produced in large numbers during the Second World War. It served war in the Pacific, Middle Eastern, European and African theaters and gained a record in its action. "

"The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress or the so called ""Sentimental Journey” is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed for the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC). The B-17 aircraft was manufactured by Boeing. It has eliminated its competitors and has met the Air Corps' expectations to compete against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 airplanes. The Air Corps was impressed with the B-17s' even though Boeing had lost the contract due to the prototype's crash. This became the reason for the U.S. Army Air Corps to order 13 B-17s. The B-17 Flying Fortress was chosen as the first truly mass-produced large aircraft that participated in full-scale production. The aircraft has then evolved into various design upgrades which started from B-17A to G. On March 13, 1945, the B-17 Flying Fortress ""Sentimental Journey"" was accepted by the U.S. Army Air Corps. The aircraft was produced too late to provide service for the European war. Therefore, it was assigned to the Pacific theater until the end of the war. The aircraft was removed from safety in Japan and was assigned to be a photo-mapping airplane in Clark Field, Manila. The aircraft has flown to all areas of the Pacific for almost three years during the development of the RB-17G."

"B-17F Flying Fortress had a nickname which was Memphis Belle during the Second World War. It became the first U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bomber to complete 25 missions over Europe and return to the United States. In September 1942, the Memphis Belle was delivered to the 91st Bomb Group at Dow Field, Bangor, Maine and was deployed to Prestwick, Scotland on September 30. On October 14, the Memphis Belle deployed to its permanent base at Bassingbourn, England. Captain Robert Morgan's crew had flown 25 combat missions with the 324th Bomb Squadron, all but four in the Memphis Belle and on May 19, 1943, Memphis Belle flew its 25th and last mission with a different crew to Kiel, Germany. On JUne 8, 1943, Memphis Belle was flown back to the United States by Morgan's crew for war bond tours. After the war, Memphis Belle was saved from reclamation at Atlus, Oklahoma, where it had been consigned since August 1, 1945, by the efforts of the mayor of Memphis, Walter Chandler. The city bought the plane for $350. In JUly 1946, the plane was flown to Memphis and was stored until summer of 1949 when it was placed on display at the National Guard armory. In the 1980s, it sat out-of-doors, slowly deteriorating due to weather and occasional vandalism. A fictionalized version of the Memphis Belle was made in the 1990 wherein a former firebomber B-17G-85-DL, serial 44-83546, registered N33703G was converted into a B-17F configuration by removing its chin turret and it continued making air show appearances in that guise. The B17, which was owned by David Tallichet, now carries the historic markings found on the actual Memphis Belle. It currently operates out of Floyd Bennett Field, New York. There were other planes also nicknamed as Memphis Belle, such as a Republic F-105D-10-RE Thunderchief (60-0504) from the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing, a General Dynamics FB-111 (68-0267), two Boeing B-52 Stratofortress have the name Memphis Belle B-52G (59-2594) was named as Memphis Belle III and took part in the 1991 Gulf War and the first B-52H (60-0001) was named Memphis Belle IV which has seen action in both Iraq and Afghanistan, a Lockheed C-141 Starlifter (67-0024)n became the Memphis Belle V and a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy (69-0025) was named as Memphis Belle X."

"The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed for the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC). The B-17 Flying Fortress went on to enter full-scale production and was considered the first truly mass-produced large aircraft, eventually evolving through numerous design advancements, from B-17A to G. The B-17 was primarily employed in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and civilian targets. The B-17 also participated, to a lesser extent, in the War in the Pacific.From its pre-war inception, the USAAC touted the B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft as a strategic weapon; it was a potent, high-flying, long-ranging bomber capable of unleashing great destruction yet able to defend itself. The B-17 established itself as a superb weapons system, dropping more bombs than any other U.S. aircraft in World War II. Of the 1.5 million tons of bombs dropped on Germany, 500,000 were dropped from B-17s. Generally considered the defining B-17 design, all changes made in the B-17F production run were incorporated into the final version, the B-17G Fortress. 8,680 B-17G Fortress were built. Eighty-five B-17G Fortress were transferred to the Royal Air Force, where they were used as the Fortress III. They operated with two squadrons of Bomber Command's No. 100 Group RAF at RAF Sculthorpe, where they were used for electronic countermeasures missions to confuse and jam enemy radar. They were also used as decoys during night bombing attacks. They took part in various such operations until they were disbanded in 1945 July. "
