Flies Nearly 1,000 Miles.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 29, 1913:
Guillaux Makes Only Two Stops Between Biarritz and Holland.
    KOLLUM, Holland, April 28.— A distance of nearly 1,000 miles in an air line was flown in an aeroplane yesterday and to-day by the French aviator, Ernest Francois Guillaux. He made only two stops in the course of his flight.
    He started from Biarritz, in the extreme southwest of France, yesterday morning at 4:42 A.M., and arrived here early to-day, having descended twice to replenish his fuel, at Bordeaux and at Villacoublay, outside Paris.
