<br />
==Early life==<br />
Fernand Eugene Guyou was born in [[Champigny-sur-Marne]], France on 7 January 1891.<ref name=otf/><br />
<br />
==World War I service==<br />
<br />
===Infantry service===<br />
Guyou was serving as an enlisted [[Brigadier]] in the cavalry reserves when war began. On 3 September 1914, he was assigned the duties of mounted scout for the [[46eme Régiment d'Infanterie]]. On 12 October, he was promoted to [[Maréchal-des-logis]]. On 12 April 1915, he was transferred to [[8eme Régiment de Chasseurs]]. On 20 December 1915, he was sent for pilot's training. He earned Military Pilot's Brevet No. 2697, awarded on 17 February 1916.<ref name=otf/><br />
<br />
===Flying service===<br />
His initial flying assignment on 26 May 1916 was with Escadrille N49 (the 'N' signifying the squadron operated [[Nieuport]]s). He moved on to Escadrille N15 on 12 August; on 23 September, he was severely wounded in action. Upon his recovery, he reported for reassignment on 20 December 1916. On 17 January 1917, he was sent to Escadrille N463. On 13 August, he was again sent for reposting; this time, he went to Escadrille N93 on the 25th. Here he found momentary success, cooperating with [[Gustave Daladier]] in shooting down a German two-seater reconnaissance plane on 30 October 1917. It would be seven more months before his second win, when he helped down an observation balloon on 30 May 1918. He would score twice more while with N93, and leave it when on the brink of acedom. With his new unit, Escadrille Spa37, he would use a [[Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés|Spad]] to tally eight more victories between 3 August 1918 and war's end, sharing them with fellow aces [[Bernard Barny de Romanet]], [[Roger Poupon]], and [[Georges Lienhart]]<ref name=aerodrome/> By the armistice, Guyou had logged over 431 hours flight time.<ref name=otf/><ref name=aerodrome>The Aerodrome http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/france/barny.php Retrieved on 16 July 2010.</ref><br />
<br />
===Promotions and awards===<br />
On 25 January 1918, Guyou was promoted to [[Adjutant]]. On 6 April, he was awarded the ''Médaille militaire'' to accompany his ''Croix de Guerre''. He received a temporary commission as a [[sous lieutenant]] on 1 June 1918. His career as an ace was capped with the receipt of the ''Légion d'honneur'' on 16 October 1918.<ref name=otf/><br />
<br />
==Post World War I==<br />
