Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Wings Over Ethiopia is the filmed record of a treacherous airplane flight
over the titular African nation. Taking off from Switzerland, the plane
glides gracefully over Egypt and the Sudan before reaching its
destination of Addis Abada. The passengers are greeted by Emperor
Haile Selassie, then they journey by auto into the Ethiopian interior,
where they come face to face with some of the most primitive native
tribes in existence. After several jaw-dropping glances a tribal
ceremonials, the film shifts its attention to Ethiopian military
maneuvers, unexpectedly coming to a conclusion with a public
execution! Chances are that the citizens of Ethiopia would have
welcomed more airborne filming expeditions of this nature, and fewer of
Mussolini's bombing raids.
