THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 5, 1947

* Acre Prison break
* Irgun - Zionist paramilitary
* British Mandate of Palestine


The top of the front page has a two column heading: "BOMBING FREES 251 IN PALESTINE JAIL; 15 SLAIN IN BATTLE" with subheads and map. (see) First report coverage on the famous Acre Prison break by the Irgun in Palestine. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 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. Nice condition.
