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.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 2, 1913:
Smithsonian Institution to Reopen Langley Laboratory to This End.
Special to The New York Times.
WASHINGTON, May 1.— An important step in the development of aerial navigation was taken to-day, when the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution decided to reopen the institution's laboratory for the study of aerodynamics.
The laboratory, which is well fitted for such an investigation, has been closed since the death of Dr. S. P. Langley, formerly Secretary of the institution, who conducted experiments with the ill-fated airship Buzzard.
