New York Times 100 years ago today, June 22, 1913:
French Aviator with Bombs Drives Two Mexican Vessels to Sea.
    DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 21.— Didier Masson, in his war aeroplane, forced the gunboats Guerrero and Tampico to steam out to sea from Guaymas harbor late to-day, according to reports received by the Constitutionalist Committee here, which asserted also that en. Ojeda's Federals were being held by the State troops in the fighting several miles north of the California gulf port.
    The French aviator was accompanied on his flights by Capt. Manuel B. Alcaldo, who assisted in dropping bombs upon the town and driving the Mexican gunboats out of the harbor. Just before dusk Masson landed to get more ammunition.
