| Abstract
|
:
|
Virgil Richardson has blazed his own unique trail through the 20th century: a cofounder of Harlem's American Negro Theater and radio personality in 1930s, a World War II pilot, and an expatriate through much of the last 50 years. In "Flight," this remarkable man tells the story of his life in his own vivid words.
