Colonel Maurice Roch Gond (31 May 1884 – 11 May 1964) was a World War I flying ace who played a much more important role in his nation's affairs than six aerial victories might suggest. He was a professional soldier who worked his way up from Soldat to officer's rank in active colonial service from 1902 to 1912. He was serving as a lieutenant in the Dragoons when World War I began on 26 June 1914. During the first year of World War I, he won two citations for valor.
Gond then switched to aviation duty, becoming an aerial observer in September 1915. After gaining flight experience, he was trained as a pilot and flew a Caudron G.4. After he completed advanced training, he was appointed to the French Military Mission to the Kingdom of Romania after that nation's entry into World War I on 27 August 1916. During the year he served in Romania, Gond was an inspirational, courageous, and diplomatic leader of the Escadrille Franco-Roumaine N3 or Escadrila N.3 in Romanian. The unit was under-equipped and out-numbered, but fought valiantly. Gond's personal reconnaissance flights were just as important to the Romanians as his aerial victories. Gond was invalided back to France in September 1917, accruing several honors along the way. He served out the war as an instructor at Avord Air Base.
Maurice remained in the French Air Force, serving in ever more responsible posts until his retirement in 1943 with 41 years of service. He died on 11 May 1964 in Paris.
