Lieutenant Colonel Georges Thenault (French pronunciation: ?[???? t?no]) 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.
