Bessie Coleman was an amazing pilot who loved to do tricks in the sky! She was the very first African American and Native American woman to get a pilot’s license. She had to travel all the way to France to learn how to fly airplanes. Bessie was very brave and worked very hard to reach her dreams!
When Bessie flew, she did loop-the-loops and figure eights in her airplane! People came from all over to watch her fly in big air shows. She wanted to open a school to teach other people how to fly, too. Bessie showed everyone that you can do anything if you believe in yourself!
