On display at Musée de l'Air at Le Bourget. This is ex-USAAF 44-8889 that was built as a B-17G at Lockheed Vega, Burbank and assigned to the 8th AF but kept in storage. In 1949 it was assigned to 7499 Air Force Composite Squadron (AFCS) in Germany as an RB-17G for photo-ELINT, which flew peripheral recce missions to detect Soviet radar. The aircraft was sold in 1954 to Institut Géographique National (IGN), modified for aerial mapping and operated out of Creil. It was retired to the museum in 1976.

These are parts of Boeing B-17G 42-38160 "Lonesome Polecat" of 550th sq, 385th BG of the USAAF 8th Air Force. This unit was stationed at Great Ashfield airbase, UK. The Flying Fortress ditched in Lake Zug, Switzerland after it had been hit by German fighters on 16 March 1944. The wreckage was raised from the lake in August 1952. It was initially displayed in St. Moritz, but scrapped in 1972/1973. Dutchman mr. Dam managed to acquire some parts which he later donated to CRASH.

The Memphis Belle was on display on Mud Island in the Mississippi River in an open air pavilion with a tarp cover from 1987 through 2003. Due to exposure to the elements it was transferred to the USAF Museum in 2004 for restoration. Completed in 2018, the aircraft is now on display in the World War II Wing of the museum.

One of the B-17s converted to airliners in Sweden, photographed perhaps in September 1945 - the photo was found among pictures of the American aircraft exhibition at Kastrup. Supposedly SE-BAN was only registered on 10 October 1945, but one source says 10 September 1945. The aircraft does not yet wear SILA Swedish Air Lines markings.

Memphis Belle has been a resident at the Palm Springs Air Museum for around two years now. It is slowly being brought back to airworthy status. Engines and props have been receiving attention and other matters still need to be addressed. The plan is to have it flying again, but when that happens remains to be seen.
