Quant began his victory roll as a balloon buster, setting a pair of observation balloons on fire on 21 May 1917. This string of wins ran until the eighth on 8 November 1917, the seventh being over British aces Arthur Taylor and William Benger. There would almost a ten month lapse before Quant resumed scoring on 27 August 1918 with a double victory. His eleventh triumph, on 1 September 1918, was over American ace John Donaldson. He then scored four more times in the next three days, and finished the war as a lieutenant.

Quant was killed in action while flying a Messerschmitt Bf 109 during the Fall of France in the beginning of World War II.
