Item # 650781

October 31, 1936

THE NEW YORK TIMES, October 31, 1936

* Aviator Jim Mollison
* Airplane - aviation
* Record transatlantic flight


The front page has a one column heading: "MOLLISON BREAKS ATLANTIC RECORD" with subheads. First report coverage continues on page 8 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 38 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.
