With the bomber planes as well, this produced jobs for pilots to be able to fly bombs from country to country if needed in time of war.
Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany were similar in that both were dictatorships. Both Mussolini and Hitler came to power through legal means and believed that people were divided into either inferior or superior races.
