Overview"Joe Gerrard was interested in sharing his knowledge of World War II bombers at the History Extravaganza until his dream topic was assigned to a girl, studious Sandi Howard. She wanted music of the 1940's, not aircraft. Neither could have predicted how their unwanted assignments would bring them together, solve a mystery and uncover forgotten history in the process. Based on a true story from the award winning book ""We Bought A WWII Bomber; The Untold Story of a Michigan High School, a B-17 Bomber & The Blue Ridge Parkway."""

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor Information"Sandra Warren has authored books in multiple genres spanning children's literature, educational activity books, parenting, gifted education and memoir/military biographies, and has been involved in audio and video production. SHE STARTED IT ALL, is a historical fiction middle-grade novel based on a true incident in the history of the high school she attended, South High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That true story is profiled in the award winning non-fiction title, ""We Bought a WWII Bomber: The Untold Story of a Michigan High School, a B-17 Bomber & The Blue Ridge Parkway."" During WWII, in 1943, the then student body instigated sales of over $375,000 in U.S. War Bonds & War Loan Stamps, earning the right to name and dedicate a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. It was never heard from again until 71-years later in a surprising turn of events. A historical marker was placed on The Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 176.2, Mabry's Mill to honor the historical event described in the story. Sandra Warren lives in writes from a log home in the NC Mountains." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
