THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 22, 1943

* re. The famous Doolittle raid of Japan
* U.S. Army Air Force B-25B Mitchell bombers
* Realization of Japanese executions

The front page has a five column headline that reads: "JAPANESE EXECUTE OUR AIRMEN; U. S. WILL PUNISH ALL RESPONSIBLE" with subheads that include: "President Aghast" and more. Coverage continues inside with related photos. Loads of text here. This was when it was first reported that the Japanese had executed some American airmen that were captured during the Doolittle raid. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.
