Airship Under Fire.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 13, 1913:
Strange Projectile Hits Naval Machine in Annapolis Flight.
    ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 12.— While making a flight this afternoon in an airboat to Galesville, a small village on West River, about fifteen miles from Annapolis, Lieut. A. A. Cunningham of the Navy Aviation Corps was under fire.
    A projectile of fairly large calibre pierced the propeller of the machine and glanced off after striking another part of the mechanism. In its course it passed within a few feet of Lieut. Cunningham and his mechanician. It is not known where the missile came from.
    Although the occupants of the machine had a narrow escape, their flight was not interrupted, and after sailing within sight of a horse show crowd at Galesville they made the return to Annapolis without descending.
    Three other machines also made the flight. The trip, about thirty-five miles in length, was covered by the four machines in 36 minutes.
