Described as a "raid" in some newspapers of the time, this trip is more like a grand tour, which does not take anything away from the merit of those who completed it.
It took place from March 2 to September 7, 1928.
The Caudron C128 F-AHEC, was chartered by the daily newspaper "Le Petit Parisien" and the film company "Paramount" (hence its nickname P.P.P.P.) in order to carry out a film report in Africa.
Pilot Mauler was assisted by Baud. The film operator's name was Cohendy.
The 35,000km raid was initially planned over 2 months, in 32 stages averaging 450km. In fact, it took 5 months at an average speed of 120km/h. The route ran along the coast along the Gulf of Guinea, then along the western coasts of southern Africa.
