February 5:

Air War: Adolphe Celestin Pègoud, the first man to jump from an aeroplane with a parachute and the second to perform a loop, goes hunting in a two-seat Morane 'L' parasol (some sources say a Maurice Farman). His observer is identified by one source as "Le Rendu", but no other source gives a name. Between Pègoud's flying and his observer's shooting they are credited with bringing down three German aircraft in one day - a single-seat Taube and two Aviatik 'B'-type two-seat biplanes.

Cape Horn: HMS Glasgow drops a target and holds gunnery practice, later anchors in Possession Bay.

Atlantic Ocean: HMS Bristol departs Port Stanley for Montevideo.
