I've had a thing for vintage African American photographs lately and have collected a pretty intense bunch, stay tuned. This is one legendary, I'm deeply in love. She looks so graceful on top of there and proud, like a superhero.... Queen Bess ladies and gentlemen.
Elizabeth 'Bessie' Coleman (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926), popularly known as "Queen Bess," was the first African American (male or female) to become an airplane pilot, and the first American of any race or gender to hold an international pilot license. (Wikipedia)
