I find two different answers as to when the last mission was flown. But it seems that Captain Morgan didn't fly the Memphis Belle on its 25th mission. The Memphis Belle's 25 mission was on 19 May 1943 to Kiel, Germany. Missions of the 324th Bomb Squadron , 91st Bomb Group (40) Keroman 17 May 1943
A/C PILOT CLAIMS CASUALTIES BATTLE DAMAGE REMARKS
485 Capt. Morgan 1-0-0 None None Bombs on target.
480 Lt. DeBaum None None None Mostly in target area.
053 Lt. Smith None None None Hits on aiming point.
515 Capt Gaitley 1-0-0 None None Perfect weather.
031 Lt. Jackson 1-0-1 None Minor Explosions in target area
857 Lt Freschauf None None None Hits on sub. Pens.
970 Lt. Cox None None None Bombed with 306th Group.
Target: - Platform for pulling U-Boats out of water.
Squadron Losses: - None
Group Losses: - None
Remarks: - Practically all bombs of this Group fell in target area,
beginning short of target and stringing through M.P.I. Smoke and
large fires visible long after leaving French coast.
(41) Kiel 19 May 1943
A/C PILOT CLAIMS CASUALTIES BATTLE DAMAGE REMARKS
480 Lt. DeBaum Abortive- #3 engine fuel pump out.
857 Lt. Miller 1-0-0 None None None

Target: - Turban engine workshop and engineering workshop.
Squadron Losses: - None

Remarks: Results questionable, Much smoke in target area. Lt. Baxley, 322nd, lost. If I read this right, a/c 485 is the Memphis Belle and the mission on the 17th was its last one. Captain Morgan and crew flew their last mission on 17 May to Lorient or Keroman(as listed above).
