Lieutenant Colonel André René Celestin Herbelin was a French flying ace during World War I.

He returned to his country's defense again during World War II, becoming part of the French Resistance against the Nazis.

[1] Herbelin was a non-commissioned officer in the French infantry's inactive reserves when World War I began.

He resumed scoring in August, downing three more German planes, including one shared with Gabriel Guérin and Marcel A. Hugues.

[1] The 1920 listing of French civil aircraft shows Herbelin operating two Spad VII, registry codes F-ABEI and F-ABEJ, so he apparently continued to fly after the war.

[2][3] During World War II, Herbelin joined the French Resistance against the Nazis occupying France.
