Official statement of 1933: "

3rd Report to the Duce

Today's journey took place regularly, although it was hindered by a headwind, low clouds and a lot of haze. The whole route was made on land above the immense Canadian forests. At this moment the last ditchings take place. I gave orders to the crews to provide supplies before going ashore. Nothing special to report to your Excellency. Italo Balbo"
