He had been angered by Mussolini's son Vittorio, then on duty with the Italian air force, who described blowing up a group of horsemen during a bombing run as "exceptionally good fun." Corwin's response was a play without rhyme but with all the cadence of dark poetry. They Fly Through the Air with the Greatest of Ease was aired Feb. 19, 1939, dedicated to "all aviators who have bombed defenseless civilian populations." It was the beginning of Corwin's anti-fascist phase. Fascism was a tough opponent that would serve as his audio punching bag throughout the war years.
