The front page has a four column headline: "MOLLISONS CRASH AT BRIDGEPORT; BOTH ARE INJURED, PLANE WRECKED; HAD FLOWN FROM WALES IN 39 HOURS" with many subheads and related photo. (see) Much more on page 3. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Also front page first report coverage on the famous Charles F. Urschel kidnapping which was later known to be the work of George "Machine Gun" Kelly.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 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.
