His search took him from rural Georgia to the streets of Paris, from the vaudeville stage to the boxing ring, and finally, from the muddy trenches to the open skies. In 1914, Bullard joined the fight to defend France―and made history as the world’s first African American fighter pilot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this candid but sensitive portrait of Bullard, author Ronald Wimberly balances the personal and the historical to interrogate concepts of cynicism, idealism, fear, glory, and the pervasiveness of anti-Black racism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51687556579644,"sku":"9781626728523","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/71e-6KiQP4L._SL1500.jpg?v=1757102125","url":"https:\/\/frugalbookstore.net\/products\/now-let-me-fly-a-portrait-of-eugene-bullard","provider":"Frugal Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
