CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, June 5, 1942.

* Battle of Midway BEGINS
* Japanese Imperial vs. American Navy
* World War II original - WWII


The front page has a great banner headline announcing: "CRIPPLE 2 BIG JAP WARSHIPS" with subheads. Nice for display. Related map on page 26 and a great full page color map on the back page which is also nice for display. First report coverage on the Battle of Midway. This key naval fight would turn the tables in favor of the United States vs. Japan. The Gettysburg of World War II ? Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 38 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
