1912 airplanes race for the Gordon Bennett Trophy



Item # 680161

September 09, 1912

THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Sept. 9, 1912

* Gordon Bennett Trophy - airplanes
* French aviator Jules Vedrines victory
* Deperdussin Monocoque racing aircraft


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "AVIATION TROPHY ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE WON BY THE FRENCH" with subheads. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 20 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, a little irregular along the spine, generally nice.
