Amelia Earhart wins Harmon Trophy....



Item # 635172

April 15, 1933

THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 15, 1933

* Aviatrix Amelia Earhart
* Harmon Trophy presentation


Page 3 has a small one column heading: "Amelia Earhart Honored" "Receives Award Harmon Trophy for Transatlantic Flight" See image for brief report here. 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. Complete in 26 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.
