She isn't well known (to most people I know anyway) but Bessie Coleman was the first black woman to become a pilot. She was also the most popular stunt flier in her day.

I always wanted to get my pilots licence and read about Bessie Coleman years ago....anyway, she's one woman that stood out to me - and one that stood out and became an inspiration to many black women and people...

Ok, so I'm not black...actually I'm lilly white but hey - I was inspired!!

Re: Bessie Coleman

I had heard of her, however I wasn't this well informed before - thanks so much for sharing! I love that she was born with in a time where being a female, and being black were major hurdles (hey, not much has changed), however she knew what she wanted and she got it! Yeah, now that's living!

I haven't heard of her, but she sounds really cool - especially the stunt flying!
