THE DETROIT NEWS, Aug. 22, 1926 

* Aviator Walter Beech wins 
* Ford Reliability Tour victory

The front page has a one column heading: "BEECH WINS FORD AIR TOUR" with subhead and photo of Beech. (see images) Nice to have from the city where this event took place. 
Complete 1st section with 18 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, generally good.

Background: This August 22, 1926 issue of The Detroit News represents a highly desirable piece of aviation history, capturing the immediate aftermath of Walter Beech’s decisive victory in the 2nd Annual Ford Commercial Airplane Reliability Tour, which concluded in Detroit just one day prior on August 21. The front page features a prominent single-column headline reading "BEECH WINS FORD AIR TOUR" accompanied by subheadings and a vintage photograph of Beech, offering a rare, real-time snapshot of the historic 2,584-mile competitive reliability flight that proved the viability of commercial passenger and cargo aircraft. Original front-page newspaper printings covering the early Ford Reliability Tours—events organized directly under Edsel and Henry Ford to spark the commercial aviation industry—are exceptionally scarce, making this issue a valuable primary source document for collectors of aviation memorabilia, Midwest regional history, and early American aeronautical development.
