Surveys the history of black aviators, from the early black aviation community in Chicago in the 1920s through World War II to modern times.

Green, who won a court battle to become a commercial pilot in 1965; and Colonel Guion S. Bluford, Jr., Vietnam War veteran and the first black astronaut.

No two stories are the same or similar. It's got excellent information about safe work prac
