Maurice Weiss, 28, noted French aviator, was killed yesterday in an air accident. Weiss was a disciple of the ill-fated trans-Atlantic flyer, Nungesser, who was lost on his Paris-to-New York flight. It was Weiss who piloted from Lisbon in 1927 the American Jewish aviatrix, Ruth Elder, after her trans-Atlantic crossing.
