A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Squadron Of Aeroplanes.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 17, 1912:
Fifteen, All Carrying Searchlights, Pass Over Chartres.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PARIS, Sept. 16.— A telegram from Chartres states that a squadron of fifteen aeroplanes furnished with searchlights, passed over that city this evening.
They are employed in the army manoeuvres now proceeding.
