SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, May 20, 1942
* The famous Doolittle raid of Japan is revealed
* U.S. Army Air Force B-25B Mitchell bombers
* USS Hornet aircraft carrier - FDR honors
The front page has a three column heading: "The Raid on Tokyo; Speed Flyer Doolittle Led It--Not One U. S. Plane Was Lost--Jap Battleship Set on Fire" with subhead. (see images) More on page 5 with photo of Roosevelt awarding Doolittle with a medal. This was when it was first reported that Jimmy Doolittle was the leader of the famous raid on Japan about a month earlier. Complete with 22 pages, light toning, some small binding holes and minor wear along the spine, generally nice.
