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.

To Fly Along Canal.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 8, 1913:
Robert Fowler Plans to Take Moving Pictures in the Air.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PANAMA, April 7.— Robert Fowler arrived from San Francisco to-day with a hydroplane and a moving-picture operator. He will try to fly along the canal, starting from the Pacific side and landing in the Atlantic. He plans to take pictures of the entire canal.
He expects to make the trip in one hour.
