The real Belle was not used in the movie. Sadly, when looking on the Memphis Belle website, I found this: Robert Hanson Passes Away Robert Hanson, the radio operator on the "Memphis Belle" passed away Saturday, October 1st, 2005, in Albuquerque, NM. Bob was the last surviving member of the bond tour crew of the "Belle." He succumbed to congestive heart failure at the age of 85. Bob is survived by his wife of 63 years, Irene, the same sweetheart whose name was carried next to his window on the "Belle." He is also survived by a brother, Harold Hanson, a half-sister Ann Blatt, his daughter, Mary Black, his son, Richard Hanson, and 6 grandchildren. Obituary
