The three-line banner headline announces the advance of Allied forces in the war, including the battle on Iwo Jima. It would be the next day--Feb. 23--when the iconic & historic photo of the flag raising on Iwo Jima would be taken.
"3D ARMY SURGE GANES 5 1/2 MILES IN SAQAR AREA; MARINES HALTED ON IWO, NEW DIVISION LANDS; AMERICA'S PARLEY OPENS, ARGENTINE ISSUES RISES".
A wealth of war-related subheads, and page 3 has several photos from the battles on Iwo Jima and Corregidor.
Complete in 40 pages, light toning at the spine margin, very nice condition. This is the desired "rag edition" printed on very high-quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings.
