EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Feb. 9, 1914
* Lieutenant Henry Post
* Killed in airplane crash
The front page has banner headline: "ARMY AVIATOR FALLS 600 FEET TO HIS DEATH" with subheads. (see) Nice for display. 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. Rare as such.
Complete with 18 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, irregular along the spine, generally very nice.
wikipedia notes: Henry Burnet Post (June 15, 1885 – February 9, 1914) was a first lieutenant in the US Army and a pioneer aviator who was killed in a crash. He set the altitude record of 12,120 feet.
