THE DENVER POST, Denver, Colorado, August 17, 1978
* 1st successful Trans-Atlantic Balloon flight
* Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo, & Larry Newman land near Paris
The front page has a near-full banner heading: "3 Balloonists Land Near Paris", with a large photo of the balloon in flight, photos of Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo, & Larry Newman, and a small map. Although quite surprising, this marked the 1st successful Transatlantic balloon flight. Additional coverage and photos are found on inside pages.
The issue is incomplete, containing pages 1-2, 9-12, 19-20. There is minor browning and some rubbing at the mid-fold (see images).
