1942 Doolittle raid of Japan...



Item # 701137

May 19, 1942

MARION EVENING POST, Illinois, May 19, 1942 

* The famous Doolittle raid of Japan is revealed 
* U.S. Army Air Force B-25B Mitchell bombers 
* USS Hornet aircraft carrier
 

The front page has a nice banner headline: "U. S. FLIER TELLS OF RAID ON JAPAN" (see images) Nice for display. This was when it was first reported that Jimmy Doolittle was the leader of the famous raid on Japan about a month earlier.
Four pages, light toning at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally nice.
