Adjutant Lucien Marcel Gasser (1897-1939) was a French flying ace during World War I.
8126 on 22 August 1917, he polished his skills at advanced training before assignment to Escadrille 87 on 1 January 1918.
The Médaille militaire that was awarded Gasser on 16 June credited him with four wins; by that time, his tally had risen to seven.
His record showed he single-handedly shot down six enemy airplanes, teamed with other French pilots to destroy three others, and downed a German observation balloon to become a balloon buster.
Eight days later, 15 July 1918, he was wounded so severely in the left leg that amputation resulted.
