TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – A Salina television producer’s documentary about a World War II airman debuted at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, part of a three-year exhibit telling the story of the U.S. role in the war.

Phil Black’s 90-minute documentary tells the story of Leo Perkins, a 95-year-old veteran who served on a B-17 over the skies of Europe.

Perkins was a flight engineer and top-turret gunner when his plane was shot down in August 1943 over Holland. He spent the rest of the war in a German prisoner of war camp, a story Black says is reminiscent of the TV show “Hogan’s Heroes.”
