Typescript. (11)ff. A record of the Black aviators, assembled by the Bureau of the Census in collaboration with the Department of Commerce. Pilots' mode of employment, level of licensure, license number, home address, and license expiration date are all listed. There are only four commercial pilots, and four other limited commercial pilots. Slightly more populated are solo/amateur and private pilots, but six of the eleven pages list students, suggesting a rapid growth in access to aviation programs among Black men. The rapidity reached fruition, though not without racism and segregation, as narrated in Hastie's On Clipped Wings: The Story of Jim Crow in the Army Air Corps. Octavo. 20pp. With photographs throughout, the pamphlet discusses the advancements in Black representation in the U. S. military, but throughout the text Hastie scrutinizes those advancements for what they really were: yet another instance of Jim Crow. Hastie was the first African-American federal judge, and the first to serve as Governor of the U. S. Virgin Islands. Hastie had worked as a civilian aide during the first years of WWII, but in 1943 he resigned from his position in protest over racially segregated, often inadequate training programs for Black pilots. Typescript stapled. Bears creases from having been folded in thirds, shows some soiling, else near fine. Pamphlet in plain wrappers with photograph at upper cover. Modestly soiled, some edge rubbing, else very good.
