The remarkable story of these two men - both former U.S. Army Air-Corps pilots - has recently come to light through reports from NBC News and the History Channel. Airman Herbert M. Heilbrun of Cincinnati flew numerous bombing missions over Nazi Germany during the war in an American B-17 bomber. As other American bomber groups incurred many losses, Heilbruns group all made it home safely.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2003/10/11-wwii-450.jpg
