FORMAT:

Black and White Airmen: Their True History by John Fleischman recounts the intertwined lives of John Leahr and Herb Heilbrun, two pilots from Cincinnati who served in World War II. Despite attending the same third-grade class, racial segregation prevented a friendship during their youth. During the war, Heilbrun piloted B-17 bombers, while Leahr, one of the Tuskegee Airmen, flew P-51 fighters. Although both operated in the European theater, military segregation kept them apart. It wasn't until decades later that they met and formed a deep bond, dedicating themselves to educating others about the impact of racial segregation and the importance of unity. Intended for readers age 8 to 12.
