Eugene Bullard
Eugene Jacques Bullard (9 October 1895 – 12 October 1961), born Eugene James Bullard, was the first Haitian-American and the first black military pilot.〔 His life has been surrounded by many legends. Bullard was one of only a few Black combat pilots in World War I, along with Ahmet Ali Çelikten.
==Early life==
Bullard was born in Columbus, Georgia, one of 10 children of William O. Bullard, nicknamed "Big Chief Ox", and his wife Josephine Thomas, a Creek Indian. His father's ancestors were slaves in Haiti to French refugees who fled during the Haitian Revolution. He was a student at the Twenty-eighth Street School from 1901-1906, where he learned to read and write. As a teenager, Eugene Bullard stowed away on a ship bound for Scotland, seeking to escape racial discrimination (he later claimed to have witnessed his father's narrow escape from lynching). Bullard arrived at Aberdeen before making his way south to Glasgow. He became a boxer in Paris and also worked in a music hall.
