* USS Iowa battleship launching
* United States Navy - WWII 

The front page has a two column photo with heading: "Biggest Warship Is Launched" with brief text. 
And the top of the back p age has a one column heading: "IOWA, BIGGEST BATTLESHIP, IS LAUNCHED EARLY" with subheads. (see images)
Much on other World War II events of the day. Complete with all 24 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, generally nice.

Background: On August 27, 1942, a major medical milestone: the successful use of penicillin in treating a patient, marking one of the first public acknowledgments of the antibiotic’s effectiveness in Britain. Penicillin, originally discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, had remained a laboratory curiosity until researchers at Oxford, including Howard Florey, Ernst Chain, and their team, developed practical methods to purify and test it beginning in 1939. By 1941–42, the drug was being tried in London hospitals, where it proved astonishingly effective in saving lives from infections that previously would have been fatal, especially septicemia and battlefield wounds. Wartime shortages, however, meant that only tiny amounts were available, and doctors often went to extraordinary lengths to recover penicillin from patients’ urine for reuse. The 1942 reports signaled to the public that a revolutionary “wonder drug” had arrived, though large-scale production in Britain and the United States would not be achieved until 1943–44.
