THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 5, 1942

* 1st ever American bombing mission in Europe (1st report)
* World War II - WWII - United States Air Force


The front page has a five column headline: "U. S. FLIERS STRIKE IN ALEUTIANS, BOMB NAZI AIRDROMES IN HOLLAND" with subhead: "Americans Raid Nazi Bases; One Scrapes Field, Gets Back" This was the very 1st use of the United States Air Force over enemy occupied Europe. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with much more on World war II. Complete in 36 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
