THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 14, 1944
* German Battleship Tirpitz sunk
* British Royal Navy and Air Force
* World War II - WWII
The front page has a five column headline: "BIG RAF BOMBS SINK THE TIRPITZ" with subheads that include: "WARSHIP CAPSIZES" "Pride of German Navy Hit Squarely by Three Six-Ton Bombs" and more with related photo. (see) First report coverage on the sinking of the German battleship Tirpitz, sister ship of the late battleship Bismarck and pride of the current German Navy. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
