* Operation Hailstone - Truk Island (Chuuk)
* World War II - WWII


The front page has a great banner headline in bold lettering: "YANKS ATTACK TRUK!" with subheads. Nice for display. Related map on page 2 and aerial photo is on the back page. First report coverage on "Operation Hailstone" which was a massive naval air and surface attack on Truk Island.
Complete with all 32 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
