Michel Coiffard
Michel Joseph Callixte Marie Coiffard (16 July 1892 – 29 October 1918) was one of the leading French flying aces of World War I. He was notable for his success as a balloon buster shooting down enemy observation balloons, which were usually heavily defended by anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery and by fighter planes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who's Who: Michel Coiffard )〕 He scored 34 victories in his career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michel Coiffard )〕
==Life prior to aerial service==
Coiffard was born in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique on July 16, 1892 to Jean Coiffard and Mary Josephine Teresa de Laurent. He joined the army on November 16, 1910.〔''Over the Front'', p. 133.〕 The following year, he served against the Rifs in Morocco. He also served in Tunisia before World War I. He was wounded three times during his service in Africa, and awarded three citations while there. He was serving in an artillery unit when World War I began in 1914.〔
Repeatedly wounded and cited for courage under fire, Coiffard transferred to the infantry as a sergeant on August 29, 1914. On May 29, 1915, he earned the Medal Militaire for voluntarily braving heavy artillery fire to repair field phone lines between artillery and infantry units. He was finally declared unfit for ground combat because of a serious wound. Consequently, he joined the air service on January 4, 1917.
