9 April 1914

On April 9, 1914 Capt. Gustavo Salinas Camiña took off in the Martin pusher biplane Sonora from a hastily prepared strip near Topolobampo in Sinaloa, MX and braved small arms fire to attack Federal gunboats with five bombs. No damage occurred to either side in this first aerial bombardment of Naval vessels.
