Maryse Hilsz (7 March 1901 – 30 January 1946) was a French aviator known for high altitude and endurance flights.
She served with the French Resistance during World War II and died in an air crash in 1946.
[2] After the end of the First World War, she explored airfields and attended airshows as civilian flying restarted.

[7] In September 1939, she and three other pilots, Maryse Bastié, Claire Roman and Paulette Bray-Bouquet were requisitioned to ferry planes to the front for the French Air Force.
