HONOLULU STAR BULLETIN, 1st EXTRA, Dec. 7, 1941
* Bombing of Pearl Harbor
* America entering World War II
* Best title to be had ? (very rare)
This is the "biggie", the issue announcing the bombing of Pearl Harbor most desired by collectors everywhere. A very well publicized newspaper but rarely found as a genuine issue.
See the photos for the terrific and historic headlines. This is the famous "1st Extra" edition being the earliest of the four editions published on Dec. 7.
This issue contains the earliest printed source closest to the attack, and is filled with eyewitness accounts. Huge & dramatic headlines on the front page: " WAR! OAHU BOMBED BY JAPANESE PLANES".
Complete in eight pages, never bound. There has been some minor reconstruction work at the central fold, more so to the right edge, with an archival mend at the fold. Additional archival mends inside. Offered at more than $1000 off the regular price due to the repair work.
One must be very careful in buying this historic issue as 99% of those on the market, particularly on ebay, are later reprints with no collector value. Rest assured this is a genuine issue, and a cornerstone newspaper for any 20th century collection.
