Airplanes Flying Over DeKalb in 1918

From the November 14, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"Many DeKalb people witnessed a most perfect aeroplane  flight this forenoon just before 11 o'clock, when a big machine sailed over as graceful as any bird.  The machine was not flying fast or high and the continual purr of the motor was easily heard by pedestrians on the street.

"The machine came from the northeast and was flying in a southwesterly direction.  Another airplane was seen here shortly before one o'clock in the afternoon."
