1944 V-2 rocket bomb threat... Nazis...



Item # 628253

August 21, 1944

THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 21, 1944

* German V-2 rocket flying bomb
* Nazis threatening it's use


Page 6 has two column headings: "The V-2 Rocket Bomb" "Its Long-Threatened Use Would Raise Many Grave Problems for the Germans" See images for text on the Nazis threatening to use this new rocket technology for revenge. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports, and advertisements of the day with much more on World War II. Complete in 24 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.
