Sentimental Journey ( aircraft ) Sentimental Journey ( 44 - 83514 ) is the nickname of a B - 17G Flying Fortress bomber . It is based at the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa , Arizona . The aircraft is regularly flown to airshows throughout North America . The nose art features Betty Grable , the number one pinup girl of the World War II era . The aircraft ' s name takes after a song made very popular by Doris Day in 1945 . History . Boeing B - 17G 44 - 83514 was built by Douglas Aircraft in late 1944 , and was accepted by the U . S . Army Air Forces on 13 March 1945 . Assigned to the Pacific theater for the duration of the war , it was subsequently placed in storage in Japan . In 1947 , the B - 17G was reconfigured as a RB - 17B for a new role in photo - mapping and assigned to Clark Field in Manila . In 1950 , the aircraft was transferred to Eglin Field , Florida and converted to a DB - 17G for service as an air - sea rescue craft . During the 1950s , it was modified to a DB - 17P standard , serving with the 3215th Drone Squadron at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida . One of its important missions was “ Operation Greenhouse , ” the fourth postwar atmospheric nuclear weapon test series conducted by the United States during the spring of 1951 . As a mother ship , the RB - 17P directed unmanned , radio controlled B - 17 drone aircraft to measure blast and thermal effects and to collect radioactive cloud samples . During the test , a drone aircraft would be taken off by ground control . A “ mother ship , ” already airborne , would then come from behind , take control of the drone and fly it to the target area . On 27 January 1959 , the aircraft was transferred to military storage at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson , Arizona . After a few months storage , 83514 was acquired by the Aero Union Corporation of Chico , California , receiving civilian aircraft registration : N - 9323Z . For 18 years , the converted bomber flew as a forest fire fighter throughout the United States . On 14 January 1978 , at a membership banquet for the newly formed Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force , Colonel Mike Clarke announced the donation of the aircraft to the CAF for assignment to the Arizona Wing . A contest was initiated by the local media to name the aircraft , which resulted in more than 800 entries , and the ultimate selection of the name " Sentimental Journey " with nose art featuring World War II pinup Betty Grable . Permission was secured from widower Harry James to add Betty Grable in her most tantalizing pose to complete the newly acquired bomber . Although flyable , " Sentimental Journey " was hardly an accurate representative of the wartime B - 17 bomber and in December 1981 , the aircraft underwent an extensive restoration . By 1985 , the addition of four operational turrets , operational bomb bay doors , navigator and radio operator stations , Norden bomb sight and machine guns completed the transformation to its original condition . Over the years , " Sentimental Journey " has performed across North America , as one of the most recognizable examples of the type , keeping the legacy of the B - 17 intact .
Ali ibn Tahir al - Sulami Ali ibn Tahir al - Sulami ( died 1106 ) was a Damascene jurist and philologist who was the first to preach " jihad " against the crusade rs in the aftermath of the First Crusade . In 1105 al - Sulami published his treatise , " Kitab al - Jihad " ( " Book of the Holy War " ) , and preached his ideas from the Great Mosque in Damascus . He recognized the danger from the Christian invaders and saw their connection to the ongoing Christian reconquests of Sicily and Spain . He believed that Muslims had abandoned " jihad " and other religious duties , and argued that the caliphs were supposed to make war on the Christians once a year , something they had not done for many years . God , he claimed , was now punishing Muslims for their sins . In order to defeat the crusaders , al - Sulami argued that Muslims must practise the inner " jihad " so that they could successfully undertake the " jihad " against the enemy . His message was mostly ignored , as Muslim rulers would not merge the concept of " jihad " with military expeditions until later in the 12th century under Nur ad - Din Zangi and Saladin . Only two manuscripts of the " Kitab " survive , both incomplete , and both in Damascus .
