...Divorce may be a sin, but if the marriage is hell, why would you stay?" asks Jiménez's son César Borrego, a 35-year-old pilot who divorced his wife in 2006 after eight years of marriage. It was a contentious divorce - the couple have two children and César sued for shared custody - but less difficult in some ways than that of his older brother Kiko, a military flight mechanic who split up with his wife in 1992 after only three months of marriage.

Futurism's glorification of man-made power was not politically innocent; it fed directly into the country's rising nationalism, a cause ardently embraced by the poet-pilot Gabriele D'Annunzio. He became the figurehead of the Irredentists, who wanted once-Italian territories returned to their homeland.

...part of the mildly apathetic global Gen X brigade, but like many an urban Turk, I was raised on a solid diet of modernist mantras. The secular zeal of Turkey's nation-builders runs in my blood. As an air force pilot, my grandfather fought alongside Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, modern Turkey's founder, in the country's war for independence. After it was won in 1923, his job was to help build Turkey's first fleet of biplanes. My grandmother was what's called an "Ataturk girl" - like many others, she was put on a train to Germany...
