From the New York Times of 21 August 1914:

wATCH SKY FOR MESSAGES

British Public Told to be on Lookout for Aeroplane Notes

LONDON, Aug. 20.--- Aeroplanes now are playing the part in war which formerly only carrier pigeons could perform, and seem to have greater possibilities than pigeons.

An official notification issued tonight to the people of England requests them to be watchful for messages dropped from aeroplanes, describes the peculiar wrappings which will inclose messages and instructs the finders to forward them immediately to the addresses they bear.

French aeroplanes scattered messages to the inhabitants of Alsace in the early days of the war, and the Russians adopted the same method for announcing the proclamation of Emperor Nicholas to the Poles.

.................................................. ........................................

Items like this one, or do you need more specific material?

Could you please post the following:

1)General idea of what he has already (already looked up, downloaded, etc)

2)Where he wants to go--thematically--with the paper

3)Time factor

Couple places I could check, but I don't want to end up duplicating.

Ambitious subject for a paper--give your son my compliments
