The Fighting Brooklyns: Harry, Johnny, and Edgar
In Alessandro Paolo Perucci's "Evelyn My Jewish Princess" three heroic fighter pilots from Brooklyn onboard the USS Yorktown are adored by young boys in Brooklyn and cheered by young girls in love with them. They are the triplet sons of widowed jewish mother Mildred Rabinowitz. These three Navy pilots fly the F6F Hellcats. Their motto is: "All for one, one for all. And everything for Miss Brooklyn." The three pilots are featured prominently in "Evelyn My Jewish Princess" as heroes of World War II. The narrator of the story, Evelyn Sternheim says that their skill is legendary. At one point in the novel the Fighting Brooklyns are fashioned into popular war toys that the young Benji plays with.
