Commemorative stamp of Russian aviator Pyotr Nesterov
  • In the skies near Kiev, Russian aviator Pyotr Nesterov became the first person to execute a loop. Nesterov, a pilot for the Imperial Russian Air Service took a Nieuport airplane aloft, and when he reached an altitude of 3,300 feet (1,000 m), shut off the engine, then took the plane on a vertical dive, restarted it at 2,000 feet (610 m), and "kept on pulling until the horizon slid up over his head," then came back to right-side up.[40] When he landed, he was arrested and spent ten days in jail for negligent use of government property. Adolphe Pégoud of France would make a loop nine days later and get publicity first.[41]
  • Fourteen German Navy members were killed out of 21 crewmen on the Zeppelin L-1, newly commissioned by the Imperial German Navy, wrecked in the North Sea, 18 miles (29 km) off the coast of Heligoland.[42]

Aviator Adolphe Pegoud
  • Twelve days after Pyotr Nesterov's September 9 loop at Kiev, Adolphe Pégoud duplicated the feat. Because Nesterov's "misuse" of an airplane was not mentioned in the Russian press, Pégoud was reported to have been the first person to perform the aerial maneuver of flying an airplane in a vertical circle and inspired pilots worldwide to try similar stunts.[77]
