Fred Cherry defied Communist torture and leftist stereotypes.
Fred Cherry, the African American U.S. Air Force pilot who spent seven years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, has passed away at 87. With all due respect to Joe Louis, Fred Cherry was the real Brown Bomber.

He was a great man....May he rest in peace.
I remember reading about him when I read When Hell was in Session by Jeremiah Denton. He may have also been mentioned in The Hanoi Commitment by James Mulligan, but I can't recall at the moment.
