{"product_id":"black-and-white-airmen-their-true-history","title":"Black and White Airmen: Their True History","description":"Here is the true history of a friendship that almost wasn’t.\n\nJohn Leahr and Herb Heilbrun grew up in the same neighborhood and were in the same third grade class together. They were classmates—not friends—because Herb was white and John was black.\n\nJohn 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 segregated—only in the air were black and white American fliers allowed to mix.\n\nBoth 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0618562974\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0618562974.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fleischman, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
