I took a flight training class from a African American retired marine pilot a few years ago. We flew to Tuskeegee Ala to visit the Tuskeegee airmen museum. I learned that the first flight instructor Charles Anderson bought a plane and taught himself to fly it. It was thought that we blacks did not have the intelligence to learn to fly. He flew First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt over the Tuskeegee air field and that was the catalyst for the Tuskeegee Airmen. Go figure
