THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 15, 1942
* Eddie Rickenbacker found alive
* American World War I airplane fighter ace
* Adrift at sea for 24 days
The front page has a two column headline: "FIND RICKENBACKER AND 5 MATES SAFE; SIXTH DIED ON RAFT" with subheads that include: "Captain and Two Others Discovered 600 Miles From Samoa" and more with photo of Rickenbacker. (see) Lengthy text continues inside with nice pictorial. First report coverage on the rescue of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker after he was adrift at sea for 24 days. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.
Other news of the day with much on World War II. Complete 1st section only with all 60 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.
