NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, Feb. 25, 1942
* Battle of Los Angeles - Air Raid
* Japanese airplane attack ? UFO's ?
Here is a report on what is known as the "Battle of Los Angeles". The front page has a three column heading: "Los Angeles Guns Open Up On 'Unidentified Aircraft'"
This event was a curious incident of World War II, the result of a rumored attack by the Japanese upon the coast of California. It was ultimately a false alarm attributed to a case of "war nerves" likely triggered by a lost weather balloon and exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining batteries.
Complete with all 34 pages, light toning, some small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
