"Distinguished African Americans in Aviation and Space Science"
offers brief, readable entries that describe the lives and careers
of 80 men and 20 women who defied poverty and prejudice to excel in
the fields of aviation and space exploration. Each essay begins
with birth and death dates, educational institutions attended and
degrees earned, positions held, and awards won. A short summary of
the individual's contribution to aviation or space science is
followed by a biographical narrative divided into three sections:
Early Years, Higher Education, and Career Highlights. Often based
on the authors' correspondence with the subjects themselves, or
with family members, this illustrated volume provides the fullest
and most accessible biographical information available for many of
these figures.
