A notable French aviator Baroness Raymonde de Laroche ( born Elise Raymonde Deroch ) was interested in becoming a test pilot.
To further this aim she visited the airfield at Le Crotoy in northern France to fly in a new prototype aircraft.
During a demonstration test flight the aircraft stalled and spun in, killing Raymonde de Laroche instantly and injuring the test pilot so severely that he was dead when arriving at a hospital.
R.I.P.
In March, 1910 Raymonde de Laroche had made history when she was granted an aeroplane pilot licence ( No. 36 ) by L' Aero-Club de France, making her the first female holder of a pilot licence.
