略歴

Colette Duval, née en 1930 et décédée en 1988, était parachutiste française, mannequin de haute-couture. Elle débute dans cette discipline en 1951 à Saint-Yan, à l'âge de 21 ans. Le 28 août 1955 au-dessus de Cannes, elle saute d'environ 8600 mètres d'altitude depuis un avion Nord 2501. Manquant se noyer, son record ne sera pas homologué par manque de précision sur la hauteur exacte de son saut. En 1956, elle a une liaison (médiatisée) avec le cascadeur automobile Gil Delamare. Durant un séjour du couple au Brésil à l'été, elle saute le 23 mai d'un bombardier Superforteresse B29 prêté par l'armée locale au-dessus de la baie de Rio de Janeiro, d'une altitude de plus de 37.500 pieds (12080 mètres selon la tour de contrôle locale). Elle ouvre son parachute à 250 mètres du niveau de l'océan, soit une chute de plus de 11830 mètres. Repêchée dans l'Atlantique, son record mondial ne sera finalement pas non plus homologué, l'ensemble des conditions règlementaires n'ayant pas été réunies, la tour de contrôle n'ayant été de plus pas avertie. En 1958, elle établit une meilleure performance internationale avec huit autres parachutistes (dont Gil Delamare et Andernos Mosconi) à Blida, en sautant d'une hauteur de 7000 mètres de nuit. La même année, elle joue son propre rôle dans le film Une balle dans le canon. Colette Duval, mannequin-parachutiste et recordwoman célèbre en France, n’avait pas aussi bien réussi son saut de démonstration au meeting d’Ecuvillens, en été 1958. Elle sera aussi de distribution dans Un clair de lune à Maubeuge (1962), Mort d'un pourri (1977), L'Homme pressé (1977), et Sauve-toi, Lola (1986). Un dossier lui est consacré dans Aviation Magazine International n°134 du 26 mai 1955, à la suite de ses exploits sud-américains.
