This photograph showcases a historic Citroen Caterpillar half-track vehicle, which defied the odds and successfully traversed the vast and inhospitable Sahara Desert in 1922-1923. The vehicle, on display at the prestigious Army Museum (Musee de l'Armee) at the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, France, travelled an astonishing 3200km between Touggourt, Algeria, and Timbuctu in Mali. During this daring expedition, the intrepid explorers, led by French military officer, Captain Paul-Emile Victor, endured the harsh desert terrain for 22 consecutive days. The Citroen Caterpillar, with its distinctive tracked design, proved to be an indispensable asset in navigating the unforgiving sands. This groundbreaking journey took place between December 17, 1922, and January 7, 1923, and marked a significant achievement in automotive history.
