Black and White Airmen
by John, Fleischman-
Here is the true history of a friendship that almost wasn’t.John Leahr and Herb Heilbrun grew up in the same neighborhood and were in the same third grade class together. They were classmatesnot friendsbecause Herb was white and John was black.John and Herb were twenty-one when the United States entered WWII. Herb became an Army Air Forces B-17 bomber pilot. John flew P-51 fighters. Both were thrown into the brutal high-altitude bomber war against Nazi Germany, though they never met because the army was rigidly segregatedonly in the air were black and white American fliers allowed to mix.Both came safely home but it took Herb and John another fifty years to meet again and discover that their lives had run almost side by side through war and peace. Old friends at last, Herb and John launched a mission to tell young people why race once made all the difference and why it shouldn’t anymore.
