Abstract
The following document presents an overview of three distinct and influential african american pilots from the 1920's and 1930's era. Following World War I and II, many african american men and women began to dream of become pilots. Unfortunately, the situation in the United States did not allow for these dreams to become manifest in reality. During the 1920's, there was not one single flight school in the country that would admit an african american student. For this reason, black aviation history was stifled from the very beginning of man's movement towards flight. This document will highlight three young african Americans that pushed the boundaries of racial oppression and social inequalities.
Certainly the obstacles that the first african american aviators faced were great. From poor education, to little social support, some black pilots even began to look to outside nations for pilot training. One such aviator was Bessie Coleman, the first african american to become a licensed pilot in 1922.
