The Flying Ace (1926) was an action genre silent film, with an all-African American cast, about a flying ace during World War I. This six-reel film, made in Jacksonville, Florida, features Laurence Criner, who played the role of pilot William Stokes, and Kathryn Boyd, who was also a pilot in "real life,"[1] played Ruth Sawtelle. The role played by Boyd was based on African American aviatrix Bessie Coleman.
In July 2010, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival will show a restored print of The Flying Ace at the Castro Theatre.
