Background: This rare August 28, 1926 issue of the Chicago Daily Tribune is an exceptionally desirable historic collectible, featuring a prominent, full-width front-page banner headline reading "RODGERS, HERO OF AIR, KILLED" along with detailed subheads and a photo of Commander John A. Rodgers on page two. Rodgers—a pioneering pioneer of naval aviation and Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics—had earned international renown just a year prior for commanding the historic 1925 non-stop flight attempt to Hawaii, in which he and his crew miraculously survived nine days stranded at sea by crafting sails from their plane's fabric. News of his tragic death in a routine flight crash near Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, sent shockwaves through the aviation community, making this period publication a highly sought-after artifact of early aviation history, complete vintage naval history, and dramatic Roaring Twenties journalism.
