Georges Guynemer was a French ace in the early days of aviation. He was the 11th most successful ace of the war, and France's 2nd highest ranking pilot with 53 confirmed victories. Rene Fonck topped the list of French aviators, second only to the great Manfred von Richthofen, but Guynemer was the idol of the French people.
Unlike Fonck, he was a shy, reserved character who the public were desperate to know more about. Fonck on the other hand was well aware of his fame and played on it at every opportunity.
