I went to the museum today and got a look at it. It is displayed as if it is in flight and is nicely done. It makes it so that you can clearly see just how small the bomb bay actually was, and you also get a really good view of the ball turret.
One thing I was really surprised to learn was that the Memphis Belle was not the first plane to complete 25 missions!
