Monday, September 14, 1925. Mitchell's comments draw a rebuke. Rif siege at Tétouan broken.

Billy Mitchell was in trouble:


Mitchell was frustrated about the post World War One direction of airpower, and had lambasted the Navy on September 5 (which I missed). At that time, he stated; "Brave airmen are being sent to their deaths by armchair admirals who don't care about air safety."

Yikes.

He was referring to the Shenandoah Incident and the recent Navy long distance flight to Hawaii.  I didn't really cover either.  I should have, as this was a big event.

The Spanish broke the siege at Tétouan.

The Byzantine cross appeared in the sky over Athens during an old calendar service of the Greek Orthodox Church of  the Exaltation of the All-Honourable and Life-giving Cross of our Savior.  The Orthodox Church was being repressed by the Greek government at the time.
