Florence, Rome and Naples are being turned inside out for the Führer's cold eyes. Tons of sweet oil are poured on the creaking Rome-Berlin axis to keep it cool. But the alliance is unnatural. It is a faux ménage after all. The two people will never pull together. The Teuton looks down on a canaille of unwashed peasants; the Italian recoils from the Nordic boor whose barbarous jargon hurts Dantesque eardrums. The two flags cannot wave together for long.

Those who knew the pilot agreed he must have been in a tight spot, for James L. ("Monty") Brandon was one of aviation's cool oldtimers. During the War he piloted the rattling biplanes of the British Royal Air Force as an instructor, afterwards fought in Russia for the White Army. He was one of the handful of commercial pilots with "1,000,000-mile" flying records. In May 1935, he flew influenza serum from Newark to the Eskimos of upper Alaska.
