ONLINE RESOURCES      If you search for "Georges Thenault" +aviation, using the Google search engine, (6-5-08), you will find about 655 links! Most of them simply identify him as the commander of the Lafayette Escadrille. I couldn't find any which told of his life and career.

 

I haven't been able to find the dates of his birth or of his death.
