Hands down the best aviatrix in history was Hanna Reitsch.
She was Germany's premier test pilot and first woman to fly a helicopter and a jet plane.
Hanna Reitsch (29 March 1912 24 August 1979) was a German aviator and the only woman awarded the Iron Cross First Class and the Luftwaffe Combined Pilots-Observation Badge in Gold with Diamonds during World War II. She set over forty aviation altitude and endurance records during her career, both before and after World War II, and several of her international gliding records still stand in 2012.
