The LOT flight wasn’t crowded, Ferrar had two seats to himself. Across the aisle, a round woman with red cheeks was praying—lips moving, eyes closed—certain that this devilish contraption would fall from the sky. Ferrar had bought a Le Soir at the waiting-room newsstand; there was front-page news from Spain, Barcelona had been bombed by Italian pilots flying German Heinkel aircraft. The bombing, seventeen raids over two days, had been unopposed—the Republic didn’t have the fighter planes to protect the city. The Italian pilots flew just above the buildings, moving from neighborhood to neighborhood, killing one thousand three hundred residents and wounding over two thousand. According to the Le Soir correspondent, the injured lay on stretchers in the street and gave the clenched-fist salute when people stopped to see if they could help. Afterwards, from around the world, there was angry protest over the barbaric assault.
