    Unbound. Condition: Very Good. An 14" x 11" black and white photograph mounted to a 22' x 24" printed matte. Creasing on the photograph corner else very good or better in a good plus matte with tidemarks along the bottom edge, spotting, and small chips. A photograph of the crew of the Memphis Belle posed with their plane during a war bond tour in 1943 Signed by Major Robert "Bob" Morgan. The photograph is framed with a matte containing the history of the Memphis Belle, her crew, and details of the historic missions flown during World War II. The commemorative matte was commissioned by the Morgan Manufacturing Company, Inc. of Ashville, North Carolina, the company owned and operated by Major Morgan's father, later operated by Robert K. Morgan and his brother. The plane and her crew made history by being one of the first B-17 bombers to complete 25 bombing missions and became national heroes. The story of their missions inspired two films, a documentary in 1944 and a feature film *Memphis Belle* in 1990 starring Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz, Billy Zane, Sean Astin, John Lithgow, and Harry Connick Jr. in his debut film.
