Question about French Aviator, Louis Chatain

I am interested in knowing more about a French WWI pilot named L.M. Louis Chatain. I only know that he was a member of Aero Club of France and received his license on November 23, 1910. His license was # 296. Any information about him or locations for finding information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have his d.o.b. as 11th March 1888. That's all.

Regards,
Matt.

Hello

You will find more informations here (memoire des hommes )

SGA - mémoire des hommes - Fiche

If you dont understand French this document
say that:

He was in 11 eme Hussards before he entered the aviation as a MS pilot
before wat he worked in a Motorcar firm named "Unic"
(very well known firm)
His escadrille was Ms then N48 until July 1915-no more information
about him after this date


Cordialement
Bruno
