THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 29, 1948
* Bermuda Triangle Flight disappearance
* Airborne Transport DC-3 (DST) airplane
Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "30-Passenger Airliner Disappears In Flight From San Juan to Miami" (see) This is an actual report of one of the mysteries in American aviation history, particularly with the controversy about the existence of a "Bermuda Triangle"
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 42 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.
Wikipedia notes: The disappearance of a Douglas DST airliner, registered NC16002, occurred on the night of 28 December 1948 near the end of a scheduled flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami, Florida. The aircraft carried 29 passengers and 3 crew members. No probable cause for the loss was determined by the official investigation and it remains unsolved.
