Major Maurice Leblanc-Smith (23 February 1896 – 29 October 1986) was a World War I flying ace credited with seven aerial victories. Leblanc-Smith was the son of Stanley le Blanc Smith and his wife Amy Harris and was christened Maurice Smith. His father, who had been a successful rower, was on the London stock-exchange, and his occupation allowed the family to live in substantial comfort at Leatherhead, in Surrey. Maurice gradually incorporated his father's name into his own. He gained his flying certificate on 14 July 1915, at Brooklands. He flew with RFC squadrons 18 and 73. Flying Sopwith Camels, he claimed seven victories, including two Fokker DR.1 tri-planes and two of the highly-acclaimed Fokker D.VIIs.
