In 2008, the Liberty Belle returns to Europe to honor all veterans of WWII. A dedicated team of documentary film makers will be on board to record the journey. Get a sneak peak of the movie on our home page. Please help us raise money for the 2008 European Tour, becoming a member, buying a souvenir or donating to the Liberty Belle Fund.
The Liberty Belle will follow the traditional flight path of U.S. World War II bombers. From its home base in Georgia, the Liberty Belle will fly 971 miles to Bangor, Maine. From there, the B-17 will leave the USA and visit Goose Bay in Canada. That segment is 608 miles. Next, the Liberty Belle heads out over blue water to land 670 miles later at Narsarsuaq Airport in Greenland. The next big jump will take them to Reykjavik, Iceland at a 720 miles distance. Then on to Glasgow, Scotland before a short hop that will bring the Liberty Belle back to the home base for so many American bomber veterans, RAF Airfield in Framlingham, UK. The total distance there and back again... 7800 miles.
The Liberty Belle returns to England to commemorate the brave airmen who valiantly fought the Nazi war machine and won. To honor those men, the Liberty Belle will be participating in many events while there. Stay tuned for more information about this soon!
In the months to come, we will be giving more details on the upcoming European Tour of 2008. The Liberty Foundation will be recognizing generous donators on this page.
Every donation of $100 or more will receive a framable letter of recognition and our thanks. Larger donations will receive plaques and other collectibles including special European Tour flight jackets, life time memberships with a specialty identity card, pins, hats or cards.
Corporate sponsorship programs are available too. Please contact rfowler@libertyfoundation.org for more information.
