His first aircraft, a Morane type L, previously flown by Charles Bonnard, had “Vieux Charles” painted on it when Guynemer acquired it. He so liked the name that thereafter he painted that name on all his aircraft. Why Bonnard called it “Le Vieux Charles” in the first place is a mystery. Didn’t Pierre Clostermann name his typhoon “Le Vieux Charles” in WW 11 ?
