Spanish Prince Flies to Front in Spanish Civil War
Don Juan of Asturias, heir to the throne, spent a day at the front near Aranda before being pulled back to Cannes. Rebels receive eighteen large airplanes to transport troops from Morocco, enabling possible large scale pushes on Madrid. Franco’s airlift may bring up to 30 000 troops over time, with Italian sympathy and Standard Oil ties noted among foreign interests. The Madrid government claims a general strike is crushed and daily life resumes normally in white-held areas.
