DAILY NEWS, New York, January 21, 1981

* Ronald Reagan becomes President of the United States
* American hostages in Iran are released

This famous tabloid size newspaper has 28 pages and contains a  nice front page heading: "FREE, FREE AT LAST" with subhead: "Hostages fly to Germany; Carter to Welcome Them" along with related photo.

Much more inside with news on Reagan's inauguration including a nice back page headline and photo. (see)

Nice to have in this title. Good condition except a small stray ink writing in the masthead.

wikipedia notes: On January 20, 1981, minutes after Reagan was sworn in as President, the American hostages were released by Iran into U.S. custody, having spent 444 days in captivity. The hostages were flown to Algeria as a symbolic gesture for the help of that government in resolving the crisis. The flight continued to Rhein-Main Air Base in West Germany, where former President Carter, acting as emissary, received them. After medical check-ups and debriefings, they took a second flight to Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, with a refueling stop in Shannon, Ireland, where they were greeted by a large crowd. From Newburgh they traveled by bus to the United States Military Academy, receiving a heroes' welcome all along the route. Ten days after their release, the former hostages were given a ticker tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes in New York City.
