From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-A labored effort to create a comprehensive picture of pioneers in black aviation, from Eugene Bullard, who served in the French flying corps in World War I when the U.S. Army would only allow whites to fly, to the first black astronauts. Haskins briefly surveys mainstream aviation firsts and cultural history to provide background, but his narrative moves a lot more smoothly when he devotes more space to a single individual, e.g., Bessie Coleman, Benjamin Davis, Jr., and Guion Bluford. Philip S. Hart's Flying Free (Lerner, 1992) tells a clearer, more readable story through the 1930s, but Haskins carries the story further, giving more information about black achievements and problems in World War II and introducing more black astronauts. Black-and-white photos and reproductions appear throughout.
