Item # 676082

May 03, 1928

THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 3, 1928

* Wright Brothers National Memorial
* Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
* Granite boulder - cornerstone erected


The top of page 4 has a two column heading: "Kitty Hawk Honors First Plane Flight In Monument to the Wright Brothers" (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 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. A few small binding holes along the spine, nice condition.
