Alexandre Buisson (17 September 1886 – 1939) was a French World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.[1][2]
Buisson served as a Hussar before his transfer to aviation. He would serve as an observer/gunner in two seater aircraft. Beginning on 29 August 1918, he scored five confirmed victories before war's end. His fourth and fifth victories on 3 November 1918 coincided with his receipt of the Médaille militaire. He also won the Croix de Guerre.[2]
