Raymonde de Laroche is one of the most memorable female pilots in history. Answering the question of who is the first female aviator with her documented flight in 1910, Laroche is accepted as the world\u2019s first female pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Paris as a daughter of a plumber, Laroche was greatly fond of sports during her childhood. Always on the move, she had various interests during her life. In her youth she acted under the name of Raymonde de Laroche. She also used this name in her later career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Her interest in motor vehicles led her to airplanes after watching an airshow. She learned how to fly from a friend of hers who was a successful aviator. Finally reaching the skies as a licensed pilot, Laroche broke down the prejudices such as women could not fly planes demonstrating that being a pilot had no gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
