[History Hounds] We Bought a WWII Bomber: Students & The War Effort with Sandra Warren, author

World War II’s “Buy a Bomber” campaign allowed organizations to fund the construction of a warplane. In 1943, students at South High School in Grand Rapids bought a B-17 Flying Fortress and named it Spirit of South High. Join us to rediscover the forgotten story of the school’s B-17.
