Léon Letort, (18 September 1889 – 10 December 1913) was a pioneer French aviator. He gained his pilot's license on 9 August 1910, flew his Blériot in exhibitions across France, and flew on military service in the Balkan Wars. In 1913 he set the world record for the greatest distance travelled non-stop, flying 950 kilometres (590 mi) in 8 hours. He died during an attempt to win a prize for long-distance flight
when he crash landed at Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire outside Bordeaux.
