That was no airliner being escorted by a pair of fighter jets over north Detroit and southern Oakland County Monday afternoon.

It was a World War II B-17 bomber flying with a World War II P-51 fighter and a post-World War II T-28 training plane.


The flight was part of the funeral for Tuskegee Airman Wardell Alphonso Polk, who was buried in Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery Monday afternoon,
