The Whole of Yorkshire
Every incident in Yorkshire (work in progress)

Flying Accidents in Yorkshire: 1st January 1911 to 3rd August 1914.

This list gives all the known flying related mishaps and accidents between the years 1911 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. I would welcome any additions to this list. As far as I am aware this is the first instance in which many of these incidents have been recorded in the modern era. Once published I expect the same people will copy the text to their own websites with no credit as happened with my other webpages.
