John Glenn's achievement, in a newspaper close to Cape Canaveral...
Item # 698371
February 20, 1962
THE COCOA TRIBUNE, Florida, Feb. 20, 1962 A great bold, banner headline above the masthead announces: "GLENN MAKES IT ! " with a lead-in: "Out Of This Roiled And Back Again...". Also on the front page: "American Astronaut In Three Trips Around The Glove After Canaveral Launching", plus a photo of a smiling John Glenn captioned: "Don't Worry! Everything Here is A-O-K".
Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth, becoming a national hero and household name. This was during the midst of the Space Race with the Soviet Union.
Terrific to have this historic report from the city closest to Cape Canaveral.
Complete in 14 pages, light toning to a portion of the bottom half of the front page, nice condition.
