Bessie Coleman: Daring Stunt Pilot

Bessie Coleman dreamed of being a pilot — but American flight schools weren't about to let a black woman into their courses! Undeterred, Bessie taught herself French and went to France in 1920 to get her pilot's license. After earning her international pilot's license, Bessie returned to the US and dazzled audiences with her stunt flying. And even after her tragic death in 1926, she continued to inspire generations of aviators, as Bessie Coleman Aero Clubs sprung up across the country.

This volume of the Graphic Library: Graphic Biographies series was winner of the 2008 Teachers' Choice Award for Children's Books.

Josephs
