Virgil Richardson blazed his own unique trail through the twentieth
century: a co-founder of Harlem's American Negro Theater, 1930s
radio personality, World War II pilot, and expatriate for most of
his life. In Flight, this remarkable man tells his story in his own
vivid words. Educated in Texas, Richardson set out for New York
City in 1938 to build a career on the stage. Just when he was on
the brink of success as an actor, World War II broke out and he was
drafted into the army. After overcoming numerous obstacles,
Richardson became a Tuskegee cadet in 1943, and later saw action
flying over the battlefields of Europe. Upon returning to the
racially divided U.S., he decided to move to Mexico, where he
encountered a society quite different from the one he had left
behind. Compellingly told and historically fascinating, this is the
story of a determined individual unwilling to accept the limited
options of Jim Crow America.
