Lieutenant Maximillian John Jules Gabriel Mare-Montembault was a World War I flying ace credited with six aerial victories. Mare-Montembault was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps on 3 August 1916, and assigned to 32 Squadron aboard Airco DH.2s a week later. He scored his first victory on 15 September, when he burned a Roland observation plane at South Bapaume. He then survived being shot down by Oswald Boelcke on 10 October 1916; Mare-Montembault landed within the British trench lines. Nothing daunted, he drove down an Albatros D.I on the 22nd. On 16 November, he and his fellow ace Hubert Jones shared a couple of wins as they drove down a pair of enemy observation planes. The following day, Mare-Montembault drove down yet another observation plane.

He was also shot down by Adolf von Tutschek; again, he was unhurt, but this time he landed behind German lines and was a prisoner for the duration. On 10 April 1919, he resigned his commission on grounds of ill health caused by his confinement.
