Summary How did a black child growing up in segregationist Mississippi during the early nineteen hundreds become the commander of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Corps during the brutal Italo-Ethiopian War of 1935? This is the true story of John C. Robinson's struggles to be professionally respected against impossible odds during the golden age of aviation--a field that was all but closed to black Americans.
