December 07, 1941
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, December 7, 1941 This is what the people read in their morning newspaper at about the same time their radios reported the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This somewhat benign banner head: "Roosevelt Sends Personal Note to Emperor In 'Final' Effort to Avert War With Japan; Reds Report Nazi Rout West or Moscow" with related subheads. An interesting contrast of how much history can happen between ink on paper and the breakfast table.
This is a rather scarce issue as there would have been no reason for people to save this edition. This would be a nice companion issue with another of this date announcing the bombing.
The complete first section with 16 pages, a small piece near the right margin of the front leaf causes minor text loss, minimal margin and fold wear, generally good condition.
