Comandare un aeroplano è un lavoro intenso e impegnativo, ma anche entusiasmante. Le mille variabili del volo si incrociano con le interrelazioni tra equipaggio, passeggeri, tecnici, controllori; prima e dopo il decollo c’è un intero universo che fa in modo che ogni aereo possa arrivare felicemente a destinazione. Ma non sempre tutto fila liscio: talvolta si verificano contrattempi, raramente possono accadere incidenti e spesso capitano anche fatti curiosi e divertenti.

The French Revolutionary Wars
Europe's great powers formed two powerful coalitions against France, yet force of numbers, superior leadership and the patriotic fervour of France's citizen-soldiers not only defeated each in turn, but closed the era of small, professional armies fighting for limited political objectives. This period produced commanders whose names remain a by-word for excellence in leadership to this day, Napoleon and Nelson. From Italy to Egypt Napoleon demonstrated his strategic genius and mastery of tactics in battles including Rivoli, the Pyramids and Marengo.
