Who was Georges Thenault?

Lieutenant Colonel Georges Thenault was the commander of the Lafayette Escadrille - the famed branch of the French air force in World War I composed of American volunteer pilots.

Once the United States formally entered the war, the Lafayette Escadrille was absorbed into the U.S. Army.
