The Poles of Montecassino By Marco Respinti. Translated and edited by L. Pavese Cassino, Italy, in Terra di Lavoro (the ancient Liburia) , is the seat of the Historiale , a “living museum” that teaches us a precious lesson: good and evil never change, even in the extreme case of war. Not very far from there rises Montecassino, the heart of Europe, that is, the core of that Christianity that evolved into the civilization, the institutes and the institutions that bear the monastic seal of Saint Benedict of Nursia. There pilgrims may admire a sumptuously rebuilt abbey. The original was wiped out by American bombs on February 18, 1944, while its treasures were rescued by Bishop-Abbot Gregorio Vito Diamare (1865-1945) and German Lieutenant Colonel Julius Schlegel (1895-1958). Afterwards, Bishop Diamare said Mass for the rescuers and gave the Colonel a handwritten document of  appreciation written on prized parchment, in accordance with the ancient Bened

Ju. 322 Di James E. Mrazek Traduzione di L. Pavese L’aliante Ju.322 fu un vero mistero della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, e rimane certamente uno di quei velivoli del quale, fino ad oggi, si conoscono pochi dettagli. Lo Ju.322 era uno dei mega-alianti progettati in Germania. I tedeschi lo chiamavano  Goliath , ma fu poi battezzato ufficialmente Mammut. Il servizio informazioni britannico lo designò Merseberg ; ed ebbe una storia molto movimentata. Si è creduto per molto tempo che la Junkers avesse intrapreso la costruzione dello Ju. 322 per competere con il gigantesco Messerschmitt 321, e assicurarsi così una fetta del mercato dei grandi alianti da trasporto; ma in realtà questo non è vero. Lo Ju.322 fu il risultato dello sforzo quasi frenetico di costruire grandi libratori per il trasporto di carri armati e mezzi pesanti per la progettata invasione della Gran Bretagna. Quando il Ministero dell’Aria del Reich diede istruzione alla Messerschmitt di progettare un gran

Cyrenaica: A two-seat SVA in air-cooperation with a Squadriglia of Italian Royal Army's armored cars.   The Italian Royal Army was the first armed force in the world to employ aircraft in combat, during the 1911-12 Italo-Turkish War for the control of the territory that became modern Libya. After the end of WWI the Italian airplanes were back in force on their Fourth Shore (as the Italians called Libya), and it was there, where airplanes had fought for the first time in history, that the European colonial forces grew their wings and learned to fly. The following is a translation of an excerpt of an Italian "Storia dell'Aviazione," written by various authors and published in weekly installments in Italy by Fratelli Fabbri Editori S.p.A. beginning in 1973 (this comes from issue N. 42). After the Libyan chapter I added a page about what the Spanish airmen were facing in Morocco at about the same time. I hope you will find it interesting, and your c
