Joining the army on 4 September 1914, Nogues served with an artillery regiment before his transfer to aviation on 24 January 1916. After obtaining a Pilot's Brevet on 20 May 1916, he received additional training before being posted to Escadrille N12 on 26 September 1916. He scored his first two victories in the spring of 1917 but was captured on 13 April 1917 when he was shot down by Albert Dossenbach of Jasta 36. He soon escaped and returned to duty but was badly wounded in action on 13 August 1917. After recovering from his wounds, he joined Escadrille Spa57 on 11 April 1918 and downed six more enemy planes and five observation balloons. Shortly before the Armistice was signed, he was reassigned to Spa172 but scored no further victories. The following year, Nogues was killed playing rugby. |
