First Black Female Pilot: Killed Days Before Her Dream Bessie Coleman became the first Black woman pilot in 1921 after every U.S. flight school rejected her. For 5 years she saved to open a flight school for Black aviators. April 30, 1926—3 days after buying her own plane—a loose wrench killed her at 34. She wasn't even flying.

Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman to hold her pilot's license, was an inspiration to women everywhere. Bessie was a successful air show pilot in the United States, and one day hoped to start a school for African-American pilots. Unfortunately, her dream was cut short as she died in a plane crash in 1926 while testing her new aircraft. Welcome back to today's Black History Moment!
