    Does anyone have any info about possible dogfights during this conflict? Its widely known that Italy deployed plenty of bombers but what about their opponent?I heard that Ethiopia had some obsolete French biplanes and some airmen from US but i failed to find any info about their perfomance during the war.

    Yes, i meant John C. Robinson when i said about " US airmen"
    But he was flying transport and reconaissance planes only since the obsolete Ethiopian fighters didn't even have any weapons installed.
