Lillian Boyer (January 15, 1901 - February 1, 1989) was an American wing walker. Working as a restaurant waitress but eager to fly in an airplane, in 1921 Boyer was invited by two restaurant customers to take an airplane ride. On her second flight, she climbed out on the wing, beginning her career as an aerial performer. In December 1921, she began training with pilot Lt. Billy Brock, former WWI pilot and barnstormer.
