Between 1919-1928, Richard E.Norman, of the Norman Film Studios, Jacksonville, FL., produced several silent feature films featuring some of the leading Black actors and actresses of that period. What is unique is that Norman, who was white, cast his actors in positive roles such as a banker, businessman, etc. not the demeaning roles that were normally given to Black actresses and actors. His counterpart, and friend, was Black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. The Flying Ace is a really special film because it represents Black technical expertise and bravery, said Jacqueline Stewart, chair of the NFPB and chief artistic and programming officer at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. It has been said that future Tuskegee Airmen were inspired when they saw this film in their youth.
