EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cattle Falling from the Sky: A Remarkable Supply System in Ethiopia". This photo print, titled "The Cattle Falling from the Sky" captures a truly extraordinary sight during the occupation of the Ethiopian Empire. In this image by Achille Beltrame, we witness an innovative and modern supply system being employed to feed troops stationed in remote regions with limited access to roads. As Italian soldiers complete their occupation of the vast Ethiopian Empire, they are faced with the challenge of supplying food to their camps. To overcome this obstacle, large airplanes descend near these outposts and release live sheep, calves, and oxen secured by special parachutes. This ingenious method had already proven successful during recent war operations. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on 7th June 1936 showcases how these animals are dropped from planes onto designated landing areas near military encampments. The photograph not only highlights the logistical prowess of Italian forces but also offers a glimpse into colonial administration practices at that time. The image portrays an array of African workers dressed in uniforms alongside Italian soldiers who oversee this unique operation. Against a backdrop of majestic mountains and rugged terrain, donkeys and mules can be seen assisting in unloading supplies as well. "The Cattle Falling from the Sky" provides us with a fascinating snapshot of history – one that demonstrates both ingenuity and resourcefulness amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to human adaptability when faced with adversity during times of war.
