Price on request
Original broadsheet newspaper, Section One, Metropolitan Edition, dated Dallas, Texas, Friday, May 18, 1945, twenty-six pages in two sections. The front page carries a large banner headline reading 'Jap Bomb Hits U.S. Carrier, 1,000 Men Lost; Dallas Officer Tells Vivid Story of Sea Battle,' accompanied by a black-and-white photograph captioned identifying the aircraft carrier Franklin listing and burning off the coast of Japan after being hit by a Japanese armor-piercing bomb. The paper is yellowed and toned throughout with age-browning, and the top edge shows fraying, creasing, and some tearing consistent with decades of storage without encapsulation.
- Condition
- Fair — significant yellowing and age-toning to all visible pages; top edge shows fraying, tears, and creasing; paper is intact but brittle-looking with no enclosure or protective sleeve visible.
