LEOMINSTER DAILY ENTERPRISE, Leominster, Massachusetts, March 2, 1949 

* B-50 bomber Lucky Lady II 1st to circle World nonstop... 
* Early report... 

This 10 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "BOMBER MAKES ROUND WORLD NO-STOP TRIP" and "B-50 Superfort 'Lucky Lady II' Carried Crew of 14 on Its Historic Flight."

This is a early report as most 1st reports I have seen have been on the 3rd.

Other news of the day throughout. Minor margin wear, otherwise good.
