Charles Augustin Daniel Vincent (31 March 1874 – 3 May 1946), known as Daniel-Vincent, was a French teacher and politician.
He tried to make the aircraft industry more effective in delivering planes of sufficient quality and numbers.
Daniel-Vincent studied at the école normale primaire supérieure in Saint-Cloud, the University of Lille and the Sorbonne.
Vincent ordered the Service Technique de l'Aéronautique (STAé) to stop designing aircraft and return to supporting existing manufacturers.
[4] Vincent was Minister of Education and Fine Arts in the cabinet of Paul Painlevé from 12 September 1917 to 16 November 1917.
[1] In March 1921 he presented France's first social insurance bill, largely the work of his predecessor Paul Jourdain.
The "Vincent bill", as it was called, proposed insurance that covered risks of illness, maternity, death, disability and old age, and that would be obligatory for all workers in commerce, industry and agriculture, and voluntary for small business owners, artisans and peasant smallholders.
During World War II (1939–45), on 10 July 1940 Daniel-Vincent voted for the constitutional change that gave full power to the government of Marshal Philippe Pétain.
