FAIRBANKS DAILY NEWS-MINER, Alaska, Aug. 15, 1935
* Will Rogers and Willie Post
* Day of the their airplane crash
* Best title to be had ?
An interesting issue, as this Alaska newspaper reports in the banner headline: "ROGERS AND POST TO GO TO BARROW". Wiley Post was a famed aviator, the first first to fly solo around the world, and Will Rogers was a very famous humorist. It would be on this very day that both would die in a plane crash near Point Barrow, Alaska.
Terrific to have this report in an Alaska newspaper & from the closest city to the crash.
Complete in 8 pages, very nice condition.
