Another local connection to the real Memphis Belle

Last week, we talked about the crew member from Spokane. But my colleague Jim Camden noted another local connection.
"When it returned to the U.S. from its 25 missions, the Memphis Belle was refurbished at the Spokane Air Depot, or Galena (what we now call Fairchild). It's where most shot up B-17s were repaired."
