“ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12, 1910 (UP) – Col. Roosevelt defied death late yesterday when he went up in an aeroplane with Aviator Arch Hoxsey. More than 10,000 persons breathlessly watched the flight, fearing the colonel’s daring on the spur of the moment might mean his death or injury.
After two laps around the aviation field, Hoxsey brought the machine gracefully to ground, having flown nearly three miles in three minutes and twenty seconds.
‘It was fine. Fine!’ ejaculated the ex-president, as he crawled from the narrow seat through the network of wires.”
