Colonel Bob Morgan, pilot of the famed "Memphis Belle" -- the most famous
B-17 Flying Fortress of World War II -- is currently in the hospital
following a bad accident. At his age injuries of any kind can be life
threatening, but in this particular case Bob actually broke his neck in a
bad fall at the Asheville Airport on April 22nd.

There is a tad more information he http://www.memphis-belle.com/

Very sad to hear this. I met him while my wife and I were crewing on
the Nine O Nine. I hope to be as sharp as him at 80+ years of age.
