30 June 1913

According to press reports: "Douglas, Ariz., June 30 - Fears that Didier Masson, the French aviator and soldier of fortune has been killed or seriously injured, are entertained here today in the rebel camp at Guaymas, Mexico. Under fire while making a detour over the city, Masson's aeroplane was seen to lurch and descend rapidly within the federal lines. Nothing has been heard from him since." (Reports of Masson's demise were exaggerated. He died in 1950 of natural causes.)
