29 May 1914

From the Carbondale (IL) Daily Free Press: Salisbury, England, May 29 (1914) — Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the British Admiralty, accomplished the first series of tests required in order to obtain an air pilot's certificate. Churchill, at the steering apparatus of a naval aeroplane, rose at Netheravon and after a flight over Salisbury Plain landed with ease in the Yeomanry camp. The First Lord hopes to qualify for his certificate next week.
