I want to find documentation of the earliest aviation event in Russellville, AR. That will take hours of going through microfilm of early issues of the local paper. What is the earliest date I should consider starting with? I have a photo of a Jenny at Russellville in Sept. 1918 (date on the photo). I found an artcle in the paper about that visit but it was several pages back without a headline suggesting that it wasn't that special. I have a non-event in 1911 when the county fair organizers turned down a plane visit because they couldn't guarantee the required $800.
