So we were looking forward to our holiday, our day.of rest in Paris, with eager anticipation. This is how we rested: + “At 10 o'clock we went to the Arc de Triomphe and. placed a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier. Then we started on a round of official calls, visited the president of France, attended lungh- eons and various ceremonies, went to teas, and then: attended a ban- quet. that lasted until midnight.

An hour passed before we could get a chance to do any work on our planes becauss it took that long for us to shake hands with the many high French officials and the foreign dip- lomats who had come out to greet us. “During that hour on the out- skirts of Paris we met more cele- brities, generals, ambassadors, and cabinet ministers than we had en- countered in all the rest of our lives.
