THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 1, 1941 

* USS Reuben James sunk (1st report) 
* 1st American warship casualty in WWII
 

The front page has a nice banner headline: "U. S. DESTROYER SUNK, 44 OF 120 CREW RESCUED" with subheads and photo. Coverage on the sinking of the USS Reuben James, the 1st U.S. warship casualty of World War II.
Incomplete issue containing the 1st two leafs only (4 pages total), nice for display as such.
