Sous Lieutenant Victor François Marie Alexis Régnier (1889-1961) was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.[1]
Victor Régnier was an experienced soldier when World War I began, having served in the artillery from 1910 through 1912. He was recalled for the war,[2] only to be wounded on 29 March 1915[1] By late summer, he had switched to aviation. He served originally with a bomber squadron, but then was assigned to Escadrille N.112 as a Nieuport fighter pilot. He was commissioned in September 1916.[2] He also scored his first victory in September 1916, on the ninth. He continued to score sporadically, with his fifth victory being an observation balloon on 6 April 1917.[1] Shortly thereafter, he was seriously wounded. He never again served in a front line unit, although he stayed in service until war's end, and even survived a serious accident[2] on 28 August 1918.[1]
Régnier served in World War II, and was raised to Commander in the Légion d'honneur.[2] His exact date of death is unknown, though he was still alive to correspond with aviation historian Norman Franks on 11 May 1966.[3]
