First was mentioned the refiisal
of. the British Air Commission

Cahrles M. Ashe, fully qualified
commercial pilot and instructor, as
a ferry pilot solely because of his
color.- Ashe volunteered for* the_

was told on September 15, by Captain
J.-D. Mugford of the RAF
Ferry Command, British Air Commission,
Washington, that no Negro
would be accepted 'for ferrying

Ashe a copy of the minimum requirements
for pilots and co-pilots
