Item # 682704

September 10, 1908

OMAHA EVENING BEE, Nebraska, Sept. 10, 1908  Over a full column on page 7 concerns early aviation, headed: "THREE PHENOMENAL TRIPS" "Wrights' Airplane, in Trial at Fort Myer, Breaks All Records" "Stays In Air Over One Hour" "Its Travels at Rate of About 37 Miles an Hour--Shorter Trip is Made With Two Passengers".
