==Early years== Hubert Fauntleroy Julian was born in [[Port of Spain]], Trinidad, in 1897. His father, Henry, was a cocoa plantation manager in [[Toco]]. Julian caught his first glimpse of an airplane on 3 January 1913, when [[Boland brothers|Frank Boland]] performed an exhibition flight, ultimately crashing and dying. The shock of the crash stayed with Julian who, after [[World War I]], left his island home for [[Canada]]. There, in November 1920, he flew for the first time during a joyride with Canadian flying ace [[Billy Bishop]]. Shortly after this he designed and patented what was labeled an "Aeroplane Safety Appliance."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://amsterdamnews.com/news/2014/oct/23/intrepid-black-eagle-hubert-julian/|title=The Intrepid 'Black Eagle,' Hubert Julian}}</ref>
