[History Hounds] REWIND - We Bought a WWII Bomber: Students and the War Effort with the Historical Society of Michigan

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.
