Rare Civil Defense atomic bomb test newspaper...
Item # 702094
September 25, 1953
NEWSDAY, Long Island, New York, (Sept. 25, 1953) A quite rare and very unusual "Official L.I. Civil Defense Test Extra" newspaper during the height of the Cold War, with a headline of what could be reality: "A-BOMB HITS LONG ISLAND".
This is a four page section that came with the regular edition dated as above but is not included here. This four page edition has no date.
The subhead notes: "East Coast Under Attack" with a photo of a potentially cataclysmic event: "Close To Death. A rescue worker brings out a casualty to tonight's atom bomb attack in Elmont..." with more.
The other four pages have reports & photos of what might be reported if an atomic bomb were to hit Long Island.
This is only the second issue of this special edition we have seen in our 50+ years.
