"Un areoplano entrò nella mia vita quando avevo nove anni. Vivevo a Zara e la guerra era appena finita. Un'idrovolante italiano atterrò proprio di fronte a casa mia, lo vidi scendere comedal cielo come un grande uccello che plana sulle onde. [...] Ancora adesso, appena chiudo gli occhi, vedo ancora il piccolo areoplano che danzava sull'acqua:"
