Lot 212. 1942 L.A. Examiner Marking the 1st Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese attack, of course, occurred on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. The Dec. 6. edition of the newspaper features eight pages of photos, two in color, depicting the results of the attack. Interestingly, the newspaper indicates that it was only then that the magnitude of the damage was released to the public. According to the Examiner reporter, “Now that the (Pacific) Fleet has recovered from the devastating damage…, the Navy decided that the facts about Pearl harbor could be given to the American people as well as to the enemy.” Meanwhile, life goes on as the sports section shows photos featuring Bob Waterfield and Angelo Bertelli, the 1941 Heisman Trophy winner. The newspaper, in four sections, features extensive reporting on World War II. The first section has some tears along the fold and exhibits some sunning on the front page.
Minimum Bid $40.
