“WAR GREAT FUN”
VITTORIO MUSSOLINI’S VIEW. DROPPING INCENDIARY BOMBS. TRAGIC BUT BEAUTIFUL EFFECT. United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, November 28. According to Vittorio Mussolini “war is great fun.” He utters this sentiment in his book, “Flying over the Ethiopian mountain ranges,” in which, describing the bombing of the Galla cavalry, he says: “One group of horsemen resembled a budding rose as the bombs fell in their midst. It was exceptionally good fun. They were easy to hit because, as we were not too high up, they offered a perfect target. Greatest joy of the campaign was when we were ordered to drop incendiary bombs. It was fine. It had a tragic but beautiful effect.”
