THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 28, 1937.

* German's test their Luftwaffe
* Bombing of Guernica


The front page has a two column heading: "Historic Basque Town Wiped Out; Rebel Fliers Machine-Gun Civilians" with subhead: "Waves of German-Type Planes Fling Thousands of Bombs and Incendiary Projectiles on Guernica, Behind Lines, as Priests Bless Peasants Filling Town on Market Day" Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 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. Nice condition.
