September 17, 1942
THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 17, 1942
* USS Aircraft Carrier Yorktown sinking
* Battle of Midway aftermath
* World War II - WWII
The front page has a six column headline: "CARRIER YORKTOWN SUNK AFTER MIDWAY" with subhead: "Big Warship Hit by Planes, Sent Down by Submarine" and a ftpg. photo of the floundering carrier. Much more on page 3 & 4 with more photos. (see) This sinking actually happened a few months earlier but this was when it was 1st made public making it still a first report.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with much on WWII. Complete in 46 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
