April 04, 1933
NEW YORK TIMES, April 4, 1933
* Crash of the USS Akron (ZRS-4)
* Famous title - 1st report
* 1st ever flight over Mount Everest
The front page has a nice banner headline announcing: "DIRIGIBLE AKRON CRASHES IN LIGHTNING STORM AT SEA; ONLY 4 OF THE 77 MEN ABOARD ARE REPORTED RESCUED; AIRSHIP IS BELIEVED A TOTAL LOSS; WIDE SEARCH ON" with subheads. An early first report. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this world famous newspaper.
Complete in 38 pages, nice condition.
