I would try to carefully pry them apart with a long and thin knife.
(Like one these long utility knives where you break off segments)
Keep the pages parallel and close to eachother while you gently push the knife between them.
That way the knife won't dig into the paper.

Try to pry them apart over boiling water (steam). Be careful though, may ruin it.

He must have been a real fan of aviation, thats all i'm gonna say biggrin
but I agree either with Piper, either steam them apart, or try wetting the stuck paper again and carefully prying them apart, and keeping them apert until dry.

Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never yield
