See boiler suit troubled pioneering aviator (5,7)

I believe the answer is:

louis bleriot

'pioneering aviator' is the definition.
(French aviator)

'see boiler suit troubled' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' ('lo' is an archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'troubled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'boiler'+'suit'='boilersuit'
'boilersuit' with letters rearranged gives 'uisbleriot'.
'lo'+'uisbleriot'='LOUIS BLERIOT'

(Another definition for louis bleriot that I've seen is " Pioneer aviator".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
