HERALD EXPRESS--3rd WAR EXTRA, Los Angeles, Dec. 23, 1941
* Japanese submarine attack
* Post Pearl Harbor California
The banner headline announces: "SHIP ESCAPES JAP SUB IN NEW SO. CAL. ATTACK" with a subhead: "Tanker Makes Port Near San Luis Obispo". There was much paranoia early in WWII that California would be a focus of a Japanese attack, hence this headline which would likely only be found in a California newspaper.
The complete first section (of 2) with pages 1-18, nice condition.
