Note: This is a symbolic cover showing late 1920s African American/Native American aviatrix Bessie Coleman with African-American soldiers in 1915-1917 World War I France.
The reason will be apparent after you read this opening chapter...
Now that you've seen one of the elements that inspired Bessie, we return to the present, where the now-adult aviatrix, while on business for her employer, Al Capone, has allowed a group of local kids to keep an eye on her personal aircraft while she's gone.
However, a pair of Ku Klux Klan goons have been tipped off to the location of the black plane that had a dogfight against one of the Klan's aircraft...and won!You'll have to wait until next week to see the result of the gunfire.
Flashback to a young Bessie and her now-deceased father...
Before tha answer is revealed...reality intrudes!The Adventure Continues
