Hubert Julian, also known as The Black Eagle or The Black Lindbergh, became the first black man to fly coast-to-coast over the U.S. in 1931. At the same time, he broke the world record for flying, with a non-stop non-refueling flight of 84 hours and 33 minutes. http://www.blackamericaweb.com/?q=articles/news/the_black_diaspora_news/22119
