Did not the group that “owed” the Belle have a copy write over the Nose art? I remembered when I visited the Memphis Belle in 96 while at Mud Island the guy at the store saying they had a copy write on the nose art and no one could use it. If you look at the David’s Belle and the Real Belle you will notice differences, I was told those were made so it would not infringement on the copy write (look at the chick’s arm)

So my point is that David's Belle nose art is different so it would not violate the copy write.

I don't know about copyright (I doubt it) but that group did have trademarks on the nose art. They have been transferred to NMUSAF, probably at the same time as the aircraft. Trademarks are different than copyrights in some important relevant ways.

Just to set the record straight on this. The museum did trademark the name and noseart. If you look up the museum website now, anytime it says memphis Belle it has the little tm with it. That must be what my friend was talking about.
