Editorial Reviews:
Neglected by history, America's pioneering black pilots helped shape modern aviation. Meet Bessie Coleman, the first black pilot to receive a license -- that could only be granted in Europe; Hubert Julian, who became a showman and promoter of black aviation, and James Herman Banning, the first black aviator to complete a transcontinental flight. This unique documentary profiles these and other courageous pilots who overcame intense social pressures to gain the right to fly.
