Denise Moore (sometimes reported as Deniz Moore), pseudonym of E.-Jane Wright (1876-21 July 1911) was the first woman aviator to die in a flight accident.
E.-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]
Denise Moore died in Étampes, France when she fell 150 feet from her capsized plane. 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]
