SUN-GAZETTE SPECIAL, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, August 14, 1945  

* World War II ends
* Japanese surrenders
* Terrific headline


We have handled many dramatic V-J Day newspapers through the years but few have been as dramatic and displayable as this one.
This "Special Edition", as noted in the upper corners, has a bold, two line head taking the entire top half of the front page proclaiming: "JAPANESE SURRENDER" using type which is 4 inches tall. There is also a 2 line, 5 column subhead: "Truman Announces Japs Accept Terms of Peace".
The front page photo is headed: "We Remembered" and across the photo: "Remember Pearl Harbor ! "
Bold banner head on page 2 reads: "Truman Announces End of Hostilities". There are also maps and related photos throughout, plus several reports chronicling the war in the Pacific Theater.
Complete in 8 pages and in very nice condition. An ideal display newspaper.
