The character from the 2006 film Flyboys named Eugene Skinner is loosely based on Eugene Bullard. But I agree, there should be biopic about him and it would have an incredible title "All Blood Runs Red."
Sorry for my english I'm french it's a great story ,a great man a hero a french hero and it's a first afro-american pilot in french air force( Domage que le documentaire ne soit pas sous titré en Francais) Merci
This guy is a total bad ass, travelling around at the age of twelve, being a boxer, working in troupe, being a legionnaire, a pilot. He lived his life well
The lack of actual biographical information on Jacques Bullard is of great loss to all of us. The fact that his adopted Country of France treated him a National hero without regard to his skin color, while America has NEVER given him the respect he deserves is a fact that America should forever be ashamed of.
This is one heck of a story... So uplifting and eye opening thank you the man of the story, thank you the teller of the story and thank you the guy who posted Allencitytv.
@@AlexandrePRODHOMME He left out the part where the president of France when he was at the white house asked about gene to meet him but they never heard of him. So the white house had to go research and find him. Then he was invited back to France to receive the honors from that country to him.
@@thomasvanhorne4796 I know that! More than honours he was part of the celebration alongside the president, as he was offered to light the flame of the "unknown soldier tomb" under the Arc of Triumph on the Champ Elysee. It's a famous installation, the body of an unknow soldier from WWI rest there. In symbolic honour to all the unnamed and/or unfound soldier fallen. It's one of the highest honours one can receive.
@@thomasvanhorne4796 oops I replied from my different account. But yeah, his life was exceptional. As a French person I find crazy that he isn't more "famous"... Especially in the US. I have spend a few years already preparing for this ... but really it should be a feature!
Second Lieutenant Eugene Jacques Bullard 1895 to 1961 The Black Swallow of Death French Army Air Corps rejected for a commission by the US Army Air Corps on 10231917. US Air Force USAF commission issued on 10231994.
The begin parts of this is wrong. Eugene's grandfather work in the french colony. During a slave upraise Grandfather Bullard as capture, and sold. Thought out the years, growing up with his father and grand father. Eugene was taught how the Speak French. It believed that Eugene left home after either the hanging of his father or the you just got tired of begin beat bye his father. Eugene mother was a creek Indiana and her name is Josephine Thomas. I have the Family history for 250 years.
Frank Lovejoy His father was lynched? I've read numerous accounts of his life and it's mentioned that father was nearly lynched and that's what made Eugene leave and seek a better life.
Eugene’s father was born in Martinique an island in the French West Indies and was a Black French West Indian of Haitian descent. His ancestors were owned by French White Men and all of them fled Haiti during the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) and settled in Martinique. Many years later, William and some of his ancestors left Martinique and emigrated to Georgia, USA and settled with Native American Indians from the Creek Tribe, where William meet Josephine Yokalee Thomas and then they had children of their own and among them was Eugene.
Way too many key inaccuracies. Eugene's life was something so amazing that a Hollywood screen writer wouldn't invent it. It needs no old gentleman embellishing it with a false claim he flew with the Lafayette Escadrille squadron. He did not. He flew for France after service in the trenches in what was know as the Lafayette flying corps. This was the general French designation for Americans flying with other French squadrons. This is shown in the photo of Bullard next to his aircraft painted with a goose symbol. The Lafayette Escadrille had a roster of about 38 men max before the USA entered the war. The L.E. aircraft had a Native American chief in a warbonnet as the symbol, not a flying goose. Eugene Bullard was the first black American combat aviator for France, but not in the L.E. squadron 124

I don't think I'd ever heard of Eugene Bullard before. I'm glad that someone took the time to research this extraordinary man.
This man's life story has to be made as a feature film. It would be epic!

Columbus, GA not Columbia . . . heck, you wrote the book and should know this
No disrespect to MLK today but more Americans should know Eugene.
Should know about both.
I always thought he was french aviator, not american.
American. He would be happy. RIP *Salute
Sorry, just way too much ad-lib otherwise a wonderful tribute to Eugene Bullard.

He was bad but he wasn't the first the black eagle was first and the black condor was second and he was third...
It's all kinds of stories like these but our people like bullshit movies that are Fiction like the black panther...
Stupid comment. The black panther is fiction. There are many stories out there, one has to know where to find them.
Stop shouting! Still interesting though :-p
