Louis-Pierre Mouillard, actually Louis-Pierre-Marie Mouillard, occasionally known as simply Louis Mouillard[1], was a key aero inventor, French, residing in locales ranging from Egypt to Algeria. He was highly collaborative with Octave Chanute, the two engaging in much correspondence. It was Mouillard with whom Clément Ader met, in Algeria, to study the flight of vultures.

In 1881 he published L'Empire de l'Air, an essay on the application of ornithology to aviation.

Mouillard gave a paper at the Aeronautical Navigation Conference at 1893 World's Fair (organized by Octave Chanute), on "A Programme for Safe Experimenting". He recommends against flight experiments which involve launching from cliffs (etc.) and instead suggests a takeoff during warm weather, in wind, over deep water. [2]

The Library of Congress holds a collection of Mouillard's papers. These papers were donated by Mireille Martin in 2000, with additional papers from the estate of Gabriel Dardaud in 2004. "The collection consists of certificates, correspondence, drawings, notes, photographs, printed matter, and writings."[3]
