"WAR IS GREAT FUN" SAYS IL DUCE'S SON.
BOOK PUBLISHED.
Joy of Incendiary Bombing In Ethiopia. CAVALRY SLAUGHTER, United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON*, November 28. According to Vittorio Mussolini, second son of II Duce, "War is great fun." He utters this sentiment in his book, "Flying Over the Ethiopian Mountain Ranges." Describing the bombing of Galla cavalry, he says: "One group of horsemen resembled a budding rose as our 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. "The greatest joy of the campaign was when we were ordered to drop incendiary bombs. It was fine. They had a tragic but beautiful effect."
