Charles godefroy
On August 7, 1919 the aviator Charles Godefroyflew his plane under the arc. It was kind of a revenge as aviators were denied the right to fly their planes for the 14th of July victory parade (the first after WWI) and had instead to participate on foot to the parade.
Charles Godefroy flew under the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile on 7 August 1919: picture on http://www.histoire-image.org/site/oeuvre/analyse.php?liste_analyse=260 The feat was not repeated until Oct. 1981 when Alain Marchand passed under the Arc de Triomphe; he was fined 5000F. 16 August 1991, a light aircraft (Mudry Cap B-10)stolen from the aeroclub at Lognes flew under the Arc and also the Eiffel Tower.
The two main events which happened at the Arc in 1919 are: - on July 14, the "défilé de la victoire" (the victory parade) was a huge event as the first parade after the end of the war; - on August 7, the aviator Charles Godefroy flew his plane under the arc. It was kind of a revenge as aviators had to participate on foot to the victory parade, and were forbidden to fly their planes.
