And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A crashed Italian Fiat C.R. 42 Falco fighter on an airfield between Capuzzo and Bardia in Libya, 1940. The van belongs to the Australian Photographic Unit. Date: 27 December 1940
They were an excellent aircraft but becoming obsolete by this time. If you were in a Gloster Gladiator, the British equivalent, you'd be very careful around a CR42.
