Item # 566618

November 28, 1943

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, November 28, 1943 

* Makin Island fully captured 
* Japanese suicide mission 

This 70+ page newspaper has two column headlines on the front page that include: "Enemy Ended Makin Fight In Weird Suicide Attacks" and more. (see)

Tells of Makin Island being being fully captured by the allies and that the Japanese gave a last ditch effort which was considered suicidal.

Other news of the day throughout with much on World War II. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in nice condition.
