April 09, 1931
THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 9, 1931
* Autogyro plane altitude record
* Aviatrix Amelia Earhart
The front page has one column headings that include: "MISS EARHART SETS AUTOGIRO RECORD" "Altitude of 19,000 Feet, Highest Ever Made in a 'Windmill,' Is Registered in Pennsylvania" "Encounters No Trouble" and more. (see) First report coverage continues on page 3 with related photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 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.
