Memphis Belle

edit

..."Memphis Belle" in honor of the WWII bomber that was paid for with funds raised by the African-American community in Memphis." This claim appears to be erroneous. Memphis Belle (aircraft) states nothing of the sort, nor do other sources referenced. In fact, there appears to be no evidence that it was not paid for by Congress out of the U.S. Treasury. Sadly, Memphis (the city or its residents, and regardless of race) didn't even pay for the restoration of the Belle, nor did it care for it properly while it was displayed there until 2003.Emjaymem (talk) 20:21, 6 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
