Vera von Bissing (*-*)
Origins to the Olympics : The First World Aerobatic Championships Although the factory pilots had all the advantages in the competition world, there were still plenty of enthusiastic non professionals going the rounds of the air show circuits including a number of women. Most famous were the Germans: Liesel Bach, the outstanding woman pilot of her day, Vera von Bissing (a pupil of Fieseler's), Hanna Reitsch (who started as a glider pilot) and the swashbuckling Thea Rasche. Among the French were Helene Boucher and Maryse Hilsz, both of whom flew Moranes.
