Best of all Pearl Harbor newspapers...
HONOLULU STAR BULLETIN, 1st EXTRA, Dec. 7, 1941 This is the
"biggie", the issue announcing the bombing of Pearl Harbor most desired
by collectors everywhere. A very well publicized issue, but rarely
found as a "genuine" issue.
See the photos
for the terrific and historic headlines.
This is the famous "1st Extra" edition being the earliest of the four
editions on Dec. 7 (we have a few of the other rare editions as
well--inquire).
This issue contains the earliest printed source closest to the attack,
and is filled with eyewitness accounts. Huge & dramatic
headlines on the front page: "
WAR! OAHU BOMBED BY JAPANESE PLANES".
Complete in eight pages, never bound. The ftpg. is evenly browned,
with some wear at the horizontal fold causing some "perforation" with a
little bit of loss, moreso at the very middle. A few minor tears at the
margins. Generally this issue is nice (see photos).
One must
be very careful in buying this historic issue as 99% of
those on the market, particularly on eBay, are reprints with no
collector
value.
Rest assured this is a genuine issue, and a cornerstone
newspaper for any 20th century collection.
