After that, Barrington had big plans, and two words: Let's Fly! Barrington Irving worked hard to become a pilot, and even harder to inspire other people to think big too. How big? A flight around the WORLD big. Climb aboard for the true story of how Barrington Irving went from tinkering kid to towering pilot and flew solo around the world breaking records as the youngest person and first Black man ever to do it.
