THE UP-TO-THE--MINUTEMAN, "The World's First Newspaper-In-The-Air", published by Northeast Airlines, August 9, 1943.
An interesting "first" as this newspaper was created on a flight. It begins with a Boston dateline: "Among other innovations in aviation must now be recorded the appearance of the world's first newspaper-in-the-air. Today, 3500 feet in the clouds over Gloucester, Massachusetts, passengers aboard Northeast Airlines Canada-bound flight #4 were handed the first edition of the Northeast "Up-To-The-Minuteman"...".
Included is a letter, dated October 22, 1943, from the Director of Public Relations at Northeast Airlines noting the significance of the issue. It also notes that it is signed by the pilot and co-pilot.
Two sheets stapled, small tape remnant at the top, minor wear, good condition.
