The front page has a great banner headline: "GEN. DOOLITTLE BARES STORY OF TOKIO RAID" with subhead and photo of Doolittle. (see) Terrific for display. First report coverage continues on p age 8 with two more photos. This was when it was first reported that Jimmy Doolittle was the leader of the famous raid on Japan about a month earlier.
Complete 1st section only with pages 1-14, light toning and minor wear at the margins and central fold, generally nice.
