Important reportage photographique du raid Alger- Dakkar ; accompli avec quatre voitures Peugeot
sous la direction d\u2019Isaac Hoechlin, administrateur d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9 de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Automobiles Peugeot.
Les 176 clich\u00e9s, pris par Campagne et Vall\u00e9e, photographes officiels de l\u2019exp\u00e9dition, documentent
avec pr\u00e9cision cet exploit automobile \u00e0 travers le d\u00e9sert et la brousse. Les v\u00e9hicules engag\u00e9s \u00e9taient :
un camion de 1 200 kg, une voiture sans soupapes, une Peugeot 201 et une \u00ab 12-six \u00bb. Les seules
modifications par rapport aux voitures de s\u00e9rie consistaient en l\u2019ajout de trois r\u00e9servoirs
suppl\u00e9mentaires (carburant, lubrifiant, eau), une optimisation du distributeur pour am\u00e9liorer le
m\u00e9lange air-carburant, et l\u2019\u00e9largissement des volets d\u2019a\u00e9ration pour renforcer le refroidissement du
moteur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019\u00e9quipe comprenait :
– Louis Proust, chef de la mission politique.
– Isaac Hoechlin, administrateur d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9 de Peugeot et chef d\u2019exp\u00e9dition.
– Andr\u00e9 Boillot, pilote de course, responsable de la pr\u00e9paration des v\u00e9hicules et de l\u2019organisation
(d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1932 lors d\u2019une comp\u00e9tition).
– MM. Morillon et Montagnan, m\u00e9caniciens.
– Le commandant-major Gamma, directeur de l\u2019aviation coloniale au minist\u00e8re des Colonies.
– Le docteur Tiller, m\u00e9decin de l\u2019exp\u00e9dition.
– P\u00e9an de Ponfilly, explorateur.
– M. Barth, cameraman
– MM. Campagne et Vall\u00e9e, photographes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le raid fut con\u00e7u par Louis Proust (1878-1959), d\u00e9put\u00e9 de l\u2019Indre-et-Loire, du territoire de Haute-
Volta et vice-pr\u00e9sident de la commission coloniale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ses nombreux voyages \u00e0 Dakar, Bamako et au Niger l\u2019avaient convaincu d\u2019utiliser l\u2019automobile
comme unique moyen de transport pour relier ces r\u00e9gions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s contacts avec Isaac Hoechlin et constitution de l\u2019\u00e9quipe, le d\u00e9part eut lieu d\u2019Alger le 26
d\u00e9cembre 1931. Le retour \u00e0 Alger s\u2019effectua le 28 janvier 1932, apr\u00e8s 16 000 kilom\u00e8tres parcourus en
32 jours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itin\u00e9raire aller : Alger \u2013 Gharda\u00efa \u2013 El-Gol\u00e9a \u2013 Timimoune \u2013 Adrar \u2013 Gao \u2013 Niamey \u2013 Ouagadougou \u2013
Bamako \u2013 Dakar. Retour : Dakar \u2013 Bamako \u2013 Tombouctou \u2013 Gao \u2013 Adrar \u2013 Alger. Le parcours inclut
deux travers\u00e9es du Tanezrouft, malgr\u00e9 le mauvais \u00e9tat ou l\u2019absence de pistes, la chaleur extr\u00eame, les
feux de brousse, les passages de rivi\u00e8res, et surtout la travers\u00e9e de l\u2019Atlas rendue tr\u00e8s p\u00e9nible par la
pluie, la neige et le gel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce fut la premi\u00e8re fois qu\u2019une mission automobile partie d\u2019Alger atteignit Dakar et revint \u00e0 Alger en
traversant deux fois le Sahara \u2013 un exploit qui marqua durablement l\u2019histoire de l\u2019automobile
coloniale fran\u00e7aise. Pi\u00e8ce unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Album photographique original, exceptionnel t\u00e9moignage iconographique de la mission Proust-
