I can't find a definitive answer, but the first recorded use of a seat belt in an aircraft was by Adolphe Pegoud, a French aviator, and one of the first to accomplish a loop. This was in 1913 and the first seat belt probably coincided with this feat. (Pegoud also became the world's first Fighter Ace.) According to Wikipedia, seat belts weren't commonly used in aircraft until the 1930s. ---
The seat belt, for primary use in airplanes, was first created by Seth H. Stoner. He was in the Navy during World War II. He was a Lt. Commander based in Washington and primarily focused on how to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities of pilots taking off and landing on aircraft carriers. He worked with a team and the seat belt was the result of their work. The seatbelt did not appear in cars until later in the 1950's.
