The top of the front page has a one column heading: "JAPAN WARNED OF MORE RAIDS BY U.S. PLANES" with subhead: "Bombers Come from Carriers, Report". Coverage continues on page 8 with related map and 3 photos. This was the famous Doolittle raid on Japan. It was not known at the time that James "Jimmy" Doolittle was involved due to secrecy.
Complete 1st section only, 18 pages, light toning at the margins, some small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
