HYVERNAULT Pierre - René
Captain
on March 23, 1940
Pierre HYVERNAULT passed the entrance exam to the Saint-Cyr School with flying colours, and joined the French Air Force in September 1928 for 8 years. At the end of the final examinations, with a very honourable 22nd place out of 336 candidates, he was accepted at the Ecole Militaire Aéronautique de Versailles, which he entered in October 1930. He obtained his military pilot's licence in December 1931. He was posted to the 3rd Fighter Aviation Regiment based at Chateauroux.
In January 1934, he was posted to headquarters, but his qualities as a leader of men and organiser quickly led Pierre Hyvernault to return to the unit and he took over the command of the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd EALD (Escadrille Aérienne Légère de Défense). In November 1938, he was posted to the Inspection Générale de l'Aviation de Chasse, but in May 1939, faced with the increasingly worrying situation in Europe, he joined the 1st Air Force and was posted to the GC I/2 in March 1940.

Captain Pierre Hyvernault was killed in aerial combat on 11 May 1940.
