August 25, 1921

THE WORLD, New York City, August 25, 1921

* ZR-2 airship disaster
* R38 class - photos


This 22 page newspaper has a nice six column headline on the front page:

* R-38, GREATEST AIRSHIP, BLOWS UP IN TEXT, BREAKS INTO TWO AND FALLS INTO HUMBER; 5 OF 44 ABOARD SAVED; 17 AMERICANS LOST

with subheads and related photos. More inside.

Tells of the ZR-2 airship crash. Other news of the day. Usual browning with little margin wear and a few small tape mends. Also a small library label within the headline, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
