Yes, that Wilbur.
Here is a scan of the front page of the New York Times, dated October 5, 1910. The page was reprinted as an ad for Kellog's Corn Flakes. Look at the article on the upper right of the front page! Wilbur flew 20 miles without incident, but evidently on the afternoon flight he blew a cylinder.
I regret that this is a bit hard to read, and I had to scan the page twice so there is some overlap. You will need a jpg viewer that will allow you to zoom in. Also, this only shows the front page, and the article is continued somewhere inside the paper, so the story doesn't conclude.
Look at the breathless language used! I wish today's media would get so excited about aviation...
Enjoy!
