In the heart of Robbins Airport, born in the cold of January, a unique establishment bloomed. An African-American-led airport, officially endorsed by the United States Department of Commerce. Running the show was John C. Robinson, welcoming a wave of fledgling aviators thanks to the Challenger club during the warmer months of 1933. But as the season turned, May displayed her ugly face, reducing a hangar at Robbins Airport to rubble. The pilots were left scrambling, forced to seek safety at Harlem Airport, amid the bustle of Chicago.
