Georges Lemare started the war as a Sergeant with the GC I/4 (2nd Escadrille), flying Curtiss H75.
He shot down his first ennemy aircraft (a Do-17) in january 1940, and scored another air kill (a Ju-88) in May.
After the armistice, his unit was sent to Senegal where Lemare, now flying for the Vichy air forces, shot down a Swordfish in September 1940. He stayed in Africa till March 1944, when he joined Normandie-Niemen and was sent to Russian Front. 
There, between October 1944 and May 1945, he added more victories (fighters only) and finished the war with 13 air kills. The Lieutnant Georges Lemare survived to the war and came back to France with his Yak-3.

For those who want to know everything about the origins of this model, here is what Captain Kurt wrote in the previous readme about this model :

"...It is intended For use with Charles Gunst's ECA (Enemy Coast Ahead) Panel, using the Typhoon slot, [...]. To use, unzip the *.tpc files, and the *.3dz files then place in your EAW directory.
This is a completely re-designed 3DZ model developed from a wireframe of the P40 from Microprose's "1942: Pacific Air War". The skin is also by me.
This has been something of a community project, in the best spirit of the great EAW community.
It is completely non-mirrored, courtesy of Rob Der Fuchs work. He contributed his solution to this and I was able to incorporate most of what he did. The entire fuselage and the insignia areas of the wings are separate.
Geo helped me solve some 3DZ issues with the gun fairings disappearing at certain angles.
Claudio Wilches has made the cockpit for this plane, with completely new interior and wing views. Claudio also built the shadow model and fixed a 3DZ problem with the cockpit height.
Capitan Manducas work for the pitot tube was also used and incorporated into the new model. 
I would also like to thank Alessandro Borges for his 3DZ!Studio and 3DZ converter tools. Without these I could do nothing like this. And finally, I understand that the Woolfman was responsible for first adding an EAW prop and transparency to the PAW model...."
