Item # 712616

September 08, 1945

THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 8, 1945

* Douglas MacArthur enters Tokyo Japan
* American flag (old glory) raised over city
Japanese atrocities - Palawan Massacre

The top of the front page has a great banner headline: "M'ARTHUR SETS UP POWER IN TOKYO; SEES FLAG RAISED OVER U.S. EMBASSY; FOE THREATENED TO KILL WAINWRIGHT" with subheads. (see images) Nice for display.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with 12 pages, minor margin wear, nice condition.
