Legacy
In 1972, Bullard's exploits as a pilot were retold in a biography, The Black Swallow of Death.
On 23 August 1994, thirty-three years after his death, and seventy-seven years to the day after the physical that should have allowed him to fly for his own country, Eugene Bullard was posthumously commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
The 2006 movie Flyboys loosely portrayed Bullard and his comrades in the World War I Lafayette Flying Corps.
