Anyone knows how a colour photograph, and a very good quality one at that, ended up on this page with a date of 1943? Since I had no ways of finding the proper year and since the picture is interesting whatever its date, I just removed the obviously faulty year.

The information describing the picture is detailed and specific about it being 1943. Modern colour photography started in 1936. The design of the aircraft look like it could be 1943. Why do you think it has an "obviously faulty year"? Mark.murphy 18:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing line

What does this line mean?

In the event the majority of the newly recruited Ethiopian askaris went over to the Free Ethiopian forces and their British Commonwealth allies following the outbreak of war.
