September 24:
Donald Swain Lewis and Baron Trevenen James of No. 4 Squadron, RFC, make the first recorded use of airborne wireless to direct artillery during the First Battle of the Aisne. Their radio log runs for forty minutes.
Sources vary as to the exact date. That given here previously, the 22nd, is possibly the correct one, and at least one source lists the 14th.
