Bessie Coleman, American Aviator

Bessie Coleman (1892 - 1926) was an African-American civil aviator. She could not gain admission to American flight schools because she was black and a woman. She learned French, traveled to Paris, and in 1921, became the first woman of African-American descent to earn an international aviation license. She became a barnstorming stunt flyer and was known as Queen Bess. No photographer credited, undated.
