Jeannette Gutierrez made a longtime dream of hers come true when she organized and event to reunite the B-24 Liberator bomber Diamond Lil with the women who built her, the men who flew her, and the brave Tuskegee Airmen who escorted her on missions. The wonderful folks at the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) who keep Diamond Lil flying shared the dream, and worked with Jeannette to make it happen!
