THE PLAIN DEALER, Cleveland, Ohio, July 21, 1969 (two front pages)
* Apollo 11 - Moon landing
* Space race with Russia
* Man walks on the Moon
This issue actually has two, nice front pages, the first with the front page almost entirely taken up with "Astronauts Walk Moon" in red ink, and a huge photo captioned: "Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin on moon.". This would appear to be the "souvenir" front page.
Inside, which would typically be page 3, is the more "typical" from page that is noted as "second front page" at the top. It also has: "Astronauts Walk Moon" but in black ink, and with photos of Armstrong and Aldrin plus an: "Artist's conception off Moon Landing.
Present are seemingly the first two sections with 26 pages, while 72 are noted on the front page. Minimal margin wear, no central fold wear, some archival strengthening at the blank spine.
A great issue with not one, but two displayable front pages.
Background: The July 21, 1969 edition of Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer stands as an extraordinary historical artifact documenting humanity’s first steps on another world during NASA’s historic Apollo 11 mission. Highlighted by a striking souvenir front page featuring a bold red headline reading "Astronauts Walk Moon," alongside a "second front page" with complete news coverage, this issue captures the monumental moment Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin made their legendary lunar landing and extravehicular activity (EVA) inside the Sea of Tranquility. This groundbreaking achievement marked the triumphant culmination of the Space Race, realizing a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy and fundamentally shifting humanity's place in the cosmos. Printed in a two-section, 26-page format with live newsroom updates and artist's conceptions, this iconic publication immortalizes the global celebration of human ingenuity, technological mastery, and our single greatest feat of space exploration.
