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.

Seize A German Biplane.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 20, 1912:
French Believe the Aviator to be a Military Pilot.
GRAY, Department of Haute-Saone, France, Dec. 19.— A biplane piloted by a German, believed to be a military pilot, landed at Marnay to-day.
It had come from Mulhausen, Alsace-Lorraine, and was immediately seized by gendarmes on instructions from the sub-Prefect.
