Sprouting wings : the true story of James Herman Banning, the first African American pilot to fly across the United States / Louisa Jaggar & Shari Becker ; illustrated by Floyd Cooper.

Jaggar, Louisa, (author.). Becker, Shari, (author.). Cooper, Floyd, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"James Herman Banning always dreamed of touching the sky. But how could a farm boy from Oklahoma find a plane? And how would he learn to fly it? None of the other pilots looked like him. In a journey that would span 3,300 miles, take twenty-one days, and inspire a nation, James Herman Banning proved that you can’t put barriers on dreams. Louisa Jaggar incorporates over seven years of research, including Banning’s own writings and an interview with the aviator’s great-nephew. She teams up with cowriter Shari Becker and award-winning illustrator Floyd Cooper to capture Banning’s historic flight across the United States."-- Provided by publisher.
