What I understand, translating French with google:
A plane, looted by makhnovists, would have been left for them by the Reds, in order to making their distrust asleep.
But this plane, with its bolshevik pilot!, finally saved the Makhno' life when Dybenko wanted to kill him.
Makhnovists were fond of technology, even they had few people able to use it. So, they didn't happily destroy everything. They even took planes in parts on their tatchanka, hoping for a future use.
