August 17

Lieutenant Antoine Cesari and Corporal Roger Prudhommeaux, who had unsuccessfully attacked the Zeppelin shed at Metz on the 14th, are now on a mission to reconnoiter German positions in the city itself. Cesari's engine quits. Deciding that if he's going to be captured he should strike first, he glides over a fort and drops his bomb. Then his engine restarts, allowing to return home safely. Prudhommeaux also drops his bomb on the fort.

SMS Karlsruhe meets up with the collier Patagonia, south of Barbados.

IJNS Wakamiya is commissioned into the Japanese Navy as the world's first dedicated seaplane carrier. The Russian freighter Lethington was captured in 1905 and renamed Takasaki Maru, then renamed again to Wakamiya Maru.
