Dropping work at once Dictator Mussolini ordered out his racing Alpha Romeo, donned a linen duster, cap and heavy goggles, drove at breakneck speed 250 miles over especially cleared roads to Donna Rachele.

Lining Solent spithead were at least 1,000,000 spectators -the Prince of Wales on a yacht with his crony, rich Philip Sassoon, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald with foreign ambassadors on the aircraft carrier Argus. Absent from race and show...
...George V, at Sandringham, was delivered an all-British, six-wheeled motor car, built for maximum speed of 60 m. p. h. Col. Francesco de Pinedo, round-the-world Italian flyer in the ill-fated seaplanes Santa Maria and Santa Maria II (TIME, April 18, 1927), resigned as Chief of Italy's General Staff for Aviation. Successor: General Valle...
