James Herman Banning always wished to fly the skies. But growing up in the 1900s, almost no one would let an African American man near the cockpit of a plane. Thus began a lifetime of overcoming racism, financial hardships, and engineering woes all in pursuit of a dream. With poignant text from authors Louisa Jagger and Shari Becker and spellbinding images from celebrated artist Floyd Cooper, discover the moving and true story of James Herman Banning, the first African American pilot to soar across the United States.
