Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose...



Item # 648682

July 12, 1946

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 12, 1946

* "Spruce Goose" flying boat
* Howard Hughes construction
* Nazi rockets showing a trend

Page 5 has a four column photo with heading: "The World's Largest Flying Boat Taking Shape In California" which shows the famous "Spruce Goose" airplane under construction by Howard Hughes. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Also a two column heading on the same page:  "Germany's Missiles", "Some of Weapons in Which Enemy Was Well Ahead of U.S. Show Future Trend" which shows a list of some of the rockets used by the Germans, showing a trend of increasing technology over time.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 38 pages, light toning at the margins, generally nice.
