Azellia White (June 3, 1913 – September 15, 2019) was an American aviator who was one of the first African-American women to earn a pilot's license in the United States. She is recognized as a trailblazer, overcoming widespread perceptions at the time, "that neither women nor African Americans were qualified to fly airplanes." She and her husband ran the Sky Ranch Flying Service, an airport and flight school for African-American aviators.
