Azellia White (June 3, 1913 – September 15, 2019) was an American aviator who was one of the first African-American women to earn a pilot's license in Texas.[1] She is recognized as a trailblazer, overcoming widespread perceptions at the time, "that neither women nor African Americans were qualified to fly airplanes."[2] She and her husband ran the Sky Ranch Flying Service, an airport and flight school for African-American aviators.[3]
