1919 R-34 airship Atlantic crossing...



Item # 670712

July 07, 1919

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 7, 1919

* R-34 airship flight to America
* 1st ever crossing of the Atlantic East to West
* Aviation - flight - dirigible - zeppelin 
* Over NYC on her way home


The front page has a very nice banner headline: "R-34 MAKES A MIDNIGHT START FOR HOME; FLIES TO TIMES BUILDING, HOVERS OVER IT, AND THOUSANDS WATCH HER TURN EAST AT 1:10" with subheads and photo of the airship over the big apple. Nice for display. Lengthy text continues on page 2 with related map.
Complete with all 36 pages, light toning at the margins, irreagular along the spine, generally very nice.
