It's called Forgotten Souls, The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen.

It tells the stories of 27 black airmen who went missing during flights overseas, leaving their families forever changed and still looking for answers.

When we come back, I sit down with Cheryl to talk about her personal connection to the airmen and what she learned over years of research about who these men were.

We'll be right back.

We're back with The Sunday Story.

I'm here with Cheryl W. Thompson.

Cheryl, welcome to the show.

And thank you for being here.

Hi, Aisha.

Thanks for having me.

I know that you have a personal connection to the Tuskegee Airmen.

Tell me about that.

And is that why you decided to write the book?

Okay.

Okay.

So, but is that why, because you have this personal connection, I mean, he was one of the Tuskegee Airmen, even though he wasn't a pilot.

Is that why you wanted to do this book?

Is this how you got interested in it?

Well, I mean, we're so glad that you did take this on.

And, you know, I mean, we'll get into, obviously, because you're talking about people who went missing in action.
