Sous Lieutenant Joseph-Henri Guiguet (10 March 1891 – 28 October 1979) was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.[1]
Guiguet was one of the earliest balloon busters, destroying one for his first victory on 22 May 1916; at the time, he was flying a Nieuport for Escadrille 95. After three more victories over enemy airplanes while piloting a Nieuport with Escadrille 3, he was wounded on 23 May 1917. Finally, over a year later, when he was in Escadrille 167, he shared a victory with Bernard Barny de Romanet and became an ace.[2][3]
