- Flood, Charles Bracelen, author.
- First edition. - New York, NY : Atlantic Monthly Press, [2015]
- Description
- Book — xvii, 266 pages : illustrations, map ; 21 cm
- Summary
-
If the Wright brothers' 1903 flights in Kitty Hawk marked the birth of aviation, World War I can be called its violent adolescence--a brief but bloody era that completely changed the way planes were designed, fabricated, and flown. The war forged an industry that would redefine transportation and warfare for future generations. In First to Fly, lauded historian Charles Bracelen Flood tells the story of the men who were at the forefront of that revolution: the daredevil Americans of the Lafayette Escadrille, who flew in French planes, wore French uniforms, and showed the world an American brand of heroism before the United States entered the Great War. As citizens of a neutral nation from 1914 to early 1917, Americans were prohibited from serving in a foreign army, but many brave young souls soon made their way into European battle zones: as ambulance drivers, nurses, and more dangerously, as soldiers in the French Foreign Legion. It was partly from the ranks of the latter group, and with the sponsorship of an expat American surgeon and a Vanderbilt, that the Lafayette Escadrille was formed in 1916 as the first and only all-American squadron in the French Air Service. Flying rudimentary planes, against one-in-three odds of being killed, these fearless young men gathered reconnaissance and shot down enemy aircraft, participated in the Battle of Verdun and faced off with the Red Baron, dueling across the war-torn skies like modern knights on horseback. Drawing on rarely seen primary sources, Flood chronicles the startling success of that intrepid band, and gives a compelling look at the rise of aviation and a new era of warfare.

- Summary
-
Weston Birch (Bert) Hall carved out his place in history with an almost devilish delight. Much of what has been written about him, including his own two autobiographies, has proven over the years to be more fiction than reality. He was labelled numerous times in his career: rogue, scoundrel, card cheat, forger, human cannonball, World War 1 pilot, criminal, bigamist, deserter, filmmaker, author, soldier of fortune, hero, Chinese General, arms smuggler, Foreign Legionnaire, salesman, aerial racer, aviation pioneer, father, and entrepreneur. Oddly enough, these titles were all true. Bert Hall's fantastic life and status as the bad boy of the Lafayette Escadrille have often eclipsed the truth. Turning to primary sources in archives around the world, many that have been overlooked for decades, this book makes the first attempt to reconstruct the life of Bert Hall. For the first time aficionados of World War 1 aviation and aviation history will get a glimpse into the life of a man who lived in extraordinary times and took advantage of them. While Bert's autobiographies were penned mostly to create a myth around his life, they often were based on kernels of truth. This book finds those kernels and paints the real-life picture of an amazing man who lived in incredible times. As the elder man of the Lafayette Escadrille, Bert was basically run out of the squadron by his colleagues. That should have been the end of his story. In reality, it was just the beginning. In an age where the world was fascinated by aviators, Bert became a real-life comic book character - a mercenary of the skies! Within two years, the Lafayette Escadrille, a squadron or rogues, playboys and misfits has claimed an incredible 900 kills and produced 72 aces!.

- Lloyd, Craig, 1940-
- Athens : University of Georgia Press, c2000.
- Description
- Book — xiv, 217 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
Although he was the first African American fighter pilot, Eugene Bullard is still a relative stranger in his homeland. An accomplished professional boxer, musician, club manager and impresario of Parisian nightlife between the world wars, Bullard found in Europe a degree of respect and freedom unknown to blacks in America. There, for 25 years, he helped define the expatriate experience for countless other African American artists, writers, performers and athletes. This biography follows Bullard's lifelong search for respect from his poor boyhood in Jim-Crow Georgia to his attainment of notoriety in Jazz-Age Paris and his exploits fighting for his adopted country, for which he was awarded the Croix de Guerre. Drawing on a vast amount of archival material in the United States, Great Britain and France, Craig Lloyd unfolds the story of an African American who sought freedom overseas. Lloyd provides a new look at the black expatriate community in Paris, taking readers into the cabarets where Bullard rubbed elbows with Josephine Baker, Louis Amstrong and even the Prince of Wales. Lloyd also uses Bullard's life as a lens through which to view the racism that continued to dog him even in Europe in his encounters with travelling Americans. When Hitler conquered France, Bullard was wounded in action and then escaped to America. There, his European successes counted for little: he spent his last years in obscurity and hardship but continued to work for racial justice. "Eugene Bullard, Black Expatriate in Jazz-Age Paris" offers a look at an extraordinary man who lived on his own terms and adds a new facet to our understanding of the black diaspora.

- Paris : Cherche midi, c2012.
- Description
- Book — 240 p. ; 22 cm.
- Summary
-
"La vie d'Eugène Bullard (1895-1961), aviateur afro-américain, jazzman, activiste et francophile, est une suite ininterrompue de défis et de luttes contre les préjugés raciaux. Né dans la Géorgie ségrégationniste de la fin du xixe siècle, le jeune Bullard, traumatisé par une tentative de lynchage visant son père, s'enfuit en clandestin sur un steamer en partance vers une Europe qu'il idéalise. Pour survivre, le voilà cible vivante dans une foire, artiste de music-hall, boxeur, avant de plonger dans le Paris de la Belle Époque au moment même où l'Europe s'embrase. C'est la Première Guerre mondiale. D'abord engagé dans la Légion et frère d'armes du peintre Kisling, Bullard, blessé à Verdun, rejoint l'aviation française et devient l'un des premiers pilotes militaires noirs de l'histoire. Il participe ensuite à l'aventure du jazz à Montmartre puis connaîtra, sur fond de charleston, une trépidante histoire d'amour. Agent des services français de contre-espionnage, il quittera la France à l'arrivée des nazis et se construira une nouvelle vie à New York. Un récit flamboyant et exaltant où l'on croise Charles de Gaulle, Blaise Cendrars, Charles Nungesser, Sidney Bechet, Joséphine Baker, des héros et des salauds."--P. [4] of cover.
