The set was manufactured entirely in Poland within the European Union.
The most famous flying fortress was the "Memphis Belle", which gained its popularity through the successful series of 25 bombing raids over Europe, which was a rarity at the time. As a result of intense warfare, aircraft were often damaged or lost.
The Memphis Belle became a symbol of the courage and tenacity of the bomber crews during the war. After completing its combat mission, the aircraft was transported to the United States, where it attracted attention as a symbol of American success in the air war. In May 2018, the restored version of the aircraft was finally donated to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, where it is on display to the public.
