Denise Moore (sometimes reported as Deniz Moore), was the pseudonym of Jane Wright (1876 – 21 July 1911), an aviation pioneer. She was the first known female aviator to die in a flight accident.

Biography

Jane Wright was either of British ancestry (born in Algeria) or of American ancestry. Before coming to France in 1911, she lived in Algiers, then a part of France. She was the widow of Denis Cornesson. She flew in France under the name Denise Moore to hide her flying career from her family.[1]

Wright died in Étampes, France when she fell 150 feet from an inverted aircraft. She was the first woman aviator to die in a plane accident.[2] At the time, she was learning to fly at the Henry Farman Aviation School.[3]
