An elevated view of the Arc de Triomphe engulfed by celebrating crowds in Paris, taken by the U.S. Army Signal Corps during the World War I victory celebrations of 1918-1919. As Allied nations marked the end of the Great War, Parisians gathered by the tens of thousands around this iconic monument to honor returning troops and celebrate peace. A military aircraft banks overhead, a fitting symbol of the new age of aerial warfare that had defined the conflict. Project: 218290
