There are only five real B-17 flying in the movie. Two were flown in from the US, two came from France, and one was already based in England. One of the French airplanes crashed during filming. Although everyone onboard survived, the aircraft was a total loss in the post crash fire. Only one of the airplanes was a genuine F-model, like the real Memphis Belle, accurate to the time the story is set. All others were G-models, that came later in the war. Two different airplanes played "Memphis Belle" during the movie, one of which is in real life named Sally B.
