Here you could see some very intersting pictures about that War.
The text is in french, but you could used the translator. link Interesting to read about the Ethiopian weapons. "The Ethiopian army had 800,000 warriors, but only 400,000 guns of all kinds and conditions.So there were many units which fight with shields and swords
As modern weapons, the army had 50 DCA (20mm Oerlikon and 75mm Schneider and Vickers)
They also had 3000 converted tanks Fiat, a copy of the Renault FT.
The Air Force had 13 different types of training and transportation planes during the war but all have been used as transport." For tranlation you could used.
