Jesse Brown, Thomas Hudner, and the Brotherhood of Man
 [OpsLens] Ensign Jesse Brown was the first black aviator in the United States Navy, and the first African-American to have a ship named after him. He was college educated, a self-made man, and had beaten incredible odds to become a Navy pilot. When Jesse Brown crash-landed in North Korea, behind enemy lines, his wingman and best friend, a wealthy white Naval Academy grad, crash-landed next to Brown to try to save him.
