Fly from Milan to Rome in 6 Hours.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 28, 1913:
    ROME, May 27.— A flight from Milan to Rome, a distance of 410 miles, was made in a monoplane this morning in six hours and seven minutes by the Italian aviators Deroy and Cevasco. When they were passing near Piza the King and Queen and the royal princes saw the aviators from their hunting lodges at San Rossore and followed their flight with field glasses.
