THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 11, 1919

* 1st airplane flight - England to Australia
* Aviator Ross Macpherson Smith


The top of page 17 has a two column heading: "Smith Flies to Australia, Wins $50,000; King and Two Premiers Felicitate Him" First report coverage on the last leg of the 1st airplane flight from England to Australia. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 32 pages, light toning at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally very nice.
