world war ii

John Charles Robinson, an African American from Gulfport, Mississippi, first knew he wanted to fly as a seven-year-old boy when he saw his first airplane. Amazingly his dream came true and in 1935 he became a commander of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force during the Italo-Ethiopian War, which was the first Facist invasion of what would go on to become World War II. His story has been forgotten in the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War and the world-wide chaos of World War II.

The events which befell Adolf Hitler between 1889 and 1923 influenced his political outlook and heralded the formation of the Sturmabteilung---the notorious SA---and the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. The parallel growth of the SA from a small group of fist fighters to a feared paramilitary force is covered in detail.
