CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, April 22, 1943

* re. The famous Doolittle raid of Japan
* U.S. Army Air Force B-25B Mitchell bombers
* Realization of Japanese executions


The front page has a great banner headline announcing: "JAPS EXECUTE U. S. FLYERS CAPTURED IN RAID ON TOKIO" with subheads. Nice for display. More on pages 8 & 9 with photos of some of the possible victims. This was when it was first reported that the Japanese had executed some American airmen that were captured during the Doolittle raid. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 46 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
