1945 USS Franklin aircraft carrier disaster...
THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Mass. May 18, 1945
- USS Franklin (CV-13) disaster
- Japanese dive bomber attack
- United States Navy aircraft carrier
The top of the front page has a four column headline: "PLANE CARRIER IS SAVED BY COURAGE OF CREW IN SPITE OF 1000 CASUALTIES" with subheads and a photo of the carrier just after the attack. This disaster happened a few months earlier but this is when it was first made public.
Complete with 22 pages, light toning at the margins and a little swear at the margins, more so along the spine, generally good.
