Wings of Courage: An African-American Combat Pilot

This original play, with music by Mad River Theater Works, is based on the life of Eugene Bullard, the first African American combat pilot and adventurer. Bullard's story would be unbelievable if it were not all true. He was a professional boxer, a World War I flying ace, a jazz musician, and a spy. Who was this remarkable African American? Using storytelling, music, and drama, Wings of Courage shows how Bullard's determination and perseverance helped him overcome discrimination throughout his remarkable life. Recommended for grades 3 and up.
