BUTNER WORLD NEWS, Aug. 29, 1945

* Rare U.S. troop transport title
* World War II - WWII


This is a quite rare, mimeographed newspaper produced by the staff on board the USS General H.W. Butner, the American troop carrier transporting troops from Europe to the Pacific.
It is a four page newspaper, typewriter set, with the banner head noting: "First Landing Made On Japan" with related subheads.
Measures 8 by 13 inches, has two leaves stapled together at the upper left, very nice condition.
