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.
