Lieutenant Colonel Georges Thenault commanded the esteemed Lafayette Escadrille, a distinguished unit of the French air force during World War I. This fabled squadron was comprised of American volunteer pilots who joined the fight before the United States officially entered the war. Thenault's leadership guided these brave aviators as they made significant contributions to the Allied cause against Germany. His command was instrumental in the unit's legacy before its eventual absorption into the U.S. Army.
