Col. Bob Morgan, pilot of "Memphis Bell", the first B-17 to complete
25 missions in the ETO during WW II, has passed away.Received the following via the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum mailing list :
"Farewell, Colonel Bob Morgan
He was so much to so many, yet he always said he was just doing his job. To all who had the honor to meet him, to hear his story, or to be fortunate enough to be his friend, he was and always will be a hero.
Col. Morgan passed away last night from complications following his surgery. Please visit
Bob Morgan was among the first veterans to join us at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's World War II Weekend, and his support was a large factor in the success and growth of the show. He was a true friend and will be greatly missed."
