Suzanne Bernard (1892 – 10 March 1912) was a pioneer French aviator.

[1] Bernard was killed at Étampes in an accident during her test for her pilot licence on 10 March 1912.

The aircraft she was flying, a Caudron biplane, was caught in a wind and rolled inverted, falling to the ground.

[1] The previous year, another French woman, Deniz Moore, aged 35, had also died while flying.

The deaths caused a great deal of mourning and reflection in aviation circles, and there was criticism of parents who permitted their daughters to engage in such dangerous activity.
