...fall now." Back and forth over bloody Mount Santo Domingo on the northern shoulder of San Marina Ridge swept the hand-to-hand fighting. Five flights of German or Italian-built bombers poured death onto the hillsides. Four battalions of Rightists held the Santa Maria heights. Basque defenders, punished beyond belief reformed for their last desperate resistance to the grim, tightening circle with which Generalissimo Francisco Franco hoped finally to extinguish the proud Basque boast which had stood for 700 years...

This condition occurred this week.

Lumbering, ungraceful things with highly tapered wings and bicycle landing gear which does not retract, they have little merit beyond big payloads. Instead of developing practical improvements, Russia's designers tend to go head-over-crupper for such fantastic devices as the P-5 biplanes whose fat lower wings open up to provide coffin-like niches in which 14 soldiers can snuggle.
