DAILY GAZETTE, Sterling-Rock Falls, Illinois, January 17, 1991
* Operation Desert Storm
* Gulf War starts
* Saddam Hussein
* Persian Gulf
This is one of the more dramatic issues to be had on the beginning of the Iraq War, when the United States initiated the air war to evict Iraq from conquered Kuwait.
Fully half of the front page is taken up with: "WAR !" in maroon ink, beneath which is "Allies Slam Saddam" and a photo of an F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber pilot being welcomed back to his base in Saudi Arabia.
Complete in 20 pages, minor toning to a few spots on the front page, minor wrinkling at the top where an address label was removed, nice condition.. A rare opportunity for one of the more dramatic newspapers of the 20th century.
