This mid 20th century US Aviation History photo features Colonel John Charles Robinson, the foremost black aviator at the time who came to be known as the “Black Lindbergh” for having established the first flight school for African-Americans and also the first US airport managed by blacks. As commander of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, Robinson earned the nickname “Brown Condor of Ethiopia”, and during World War II, he served as an aircraft maintenance instructor for the US Army Air Forces.
