24 hydravions de l\u2019Italie fasciste font escale \u00e0 Longueuil et Montr\u00e9al<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"24<\/p>\n

Italo Balbo \u00e9tait un personnage connu de l\u2019Italie fasciste. Au moment de son vol, il \u00e9tait ministre de l\u2019Aviation dans le gouvernement de Mussolini.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

L\u2019\u00e9quipage de 24 avions (25 au d\u00e9part) et d\u2019une centaine d\u2019hommes rendit l\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nement spectaculaire. Les Italiens voulaient c\u00e9l\u00e9brer les dix ans du fascisme. On l\u2019indiqua d\u2019ailleurs sur l\u2019avion en y apposant un X \u00e0 la fin du nom de l\u2019avion, un Savoia Marchetti baptis\u00e9 SM 55-X. Ce fut donc la travers\u00e9e de la d\u00e9cennie du fascisme.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

On attendit 1933 pour faire le voyage, car Chicago y tenait une exposition universelle sur le th\u00e8me de \u00ab Un si\u00e8cle de progr\u00e8s \u00bb. Le vol de Balbo en fut un de marketing. Il voulut montrer aux Am\u00e9ricains une Italie moderne et puissante.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Montr\u00e9al, Chicago et New York \u00e9taient toutes des villes qui avaient une minorit\u00e9 italienne importante. Le succ\u00e8s \u00e9tait assur\u00e9. Balbo et les autres aviateurs arriv\u00e8rent \u00e0 Longueuil au mois de juillet 1933. Les aviateurs s\u2019amarr\u00e8rent au quai de la Fairchild Aircraft (plus tard la Weston sur Marie-Victorin).<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

La plage de Longueuil \u00e9tait remplie, le service d\u2019autobus ayant prolong\u00e9 le service jusqu\u2019\u00e0 cet endroit. Les sir\u00e8nes hurl\u00e8rent et les cloches sonn\u00e8rent. Italo Balbo embrassa la jeune Yola Narizzano qui venait de lui remettre une gerbe de fleurs et monta dans une Ford qui le mena \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4tel Mont-Royal. Une heure plus tard, il signa le livre d\u2019or \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4tel \u00a0de ville de Montr\u00e9al. Puis il compl\u00e9ta son voyage \u00e0 Chicago, puis New York et Washington avant de retourner en Italie.<\/h5>\n
