Description
by Beth Powell (Author), Gigi Coleman (Contribution by), Stephen Walton (Contribution by)
Before our beloved aviators, like Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh soared into our hearts, there was Bessie Coleman. Bessie Coleman was the first African American and Native American woman to receive her pilot's license.
Queen of the Skies is an intimate portrait of Bessie Coleman, told in collaboration with the family from their perspective. From her humble upbringing picking cotton in Waxahachie, Texas at the turn of the century, Bessie never gave up on her aviation dreams, despite all the odds against her. She made her way to Chicago and learned French, and then moved overseas to France to learn how to fly as she faced many obstacles in the US.
Her story is an inspiring tale of hope, inspiration and determination of a woman whose very existence in aviation defied the injustice and racism of the time. Bessie continues to inspire aviators today. Here is the story of her deepest desires, the people she loved, the determination behind each milestone, and how she succeeded in changing aviation forever with her indomitable spirit.
