Carranza forces steal aeroplane for Guayamas siege
In Nogales on December 7, Carranza partisans seized a deputy U S marshal’s aeroplane and hurried it across the border. They plan to use the craft in the Guayamas fight, hoping a skilled operator can guide it, marking perhaps the first extensive use of airplanes in war. The theft is unlikely to create trouble due to the Carranza faction’s wealth.
