WANTED SOME SPEED
GENERAL CLARK’S ENTRY INTO NAPLES. IN TINY COMMUNICATIONS PLANE. (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, October 5. The commander of the Fifth Army, General Mark Clark, after dismissing his jeep because he “wanted some speed,” climbed into a tiny communications plane and ordered the pilot to land as near as possible to the centre of Naples. The plane flew down the length of the Corsa Umberta, 50 feet above ground, and landed in a square near the railway station. General Clark stepped out an hour ahead of schedule.
