| Description: | GAZETTE “New York's great reception to Italian airmen! General Balbo and his colleagues drive in triumph along Lower Broadway to New York City Hall.” New York, United States of America (USA). Top view of tickertape parade on Lower Broadway for General / Marshal Italo Balbo and his team of Aviators who have flown across the Atlantic in a formation of flying boats. The streets fly the American and Italian flags. Good scenes of ticker tape parade, including upward-tilted shots. Some of the crowd shout in Italian - one of two even give fascist salutes (a bit ironic, because Balbo was not really in line with Mussolini). Shots of Balbo and colleague in back of open car. | |
