Re: Right outta the movies: Italy's mafia in North America
When I was stationed with NATO AWACS, it had a Forward Operating Base at Trapani, Sicily (main base was in Germany). I was told that early in the program (would be the early 1980s), when the bases were being set up, an airport fire truck was shipped (literally) from northern Italy to Sicily. The ship made a non-stop voyage from the northern port to Trapani. But somehow, the fire truck disappeared en route. Never found, I was told. Most perplexing.
