The U.S. Army's around the world flight, that is the surviving aircraft of it, landed at Mitchel Field on Long Island.

The Prince of Wales was there to greet them.

The Casper papers reported on the big aviation event.

The Qing Dynasty had been in existence since 1644.  That would come to an end in 1912.  China has pretty much been in some sort of political mess since then, although it certainly had plenty of problems before that.
