About this Item

Printed broadside on card stock, 12 x 9 inches, several sizes of type (to 2 ½ inches), the title in larger bold type, text enclosed within a double black line border. In part, "A reward of $500.00 will be paid to the finder or finders of the / United States Army C78 Twin Motor Camouflag- /ed Airplane, or the Wreckage of Said Plane / Which was lost on January 31, 1944, between Charlotte, North / Carolina and Lebanon, Tennessee, carrying the following men, viz: / Lt. Thomas B. Wheeler, Lt. Irving Bumberg, / Lt. George Maty and Dr. D. D. Haigis." Another long paragraph describes the terms, the role of the newspaper, and the rights held by the women. Apparently not recorded on OCLC. Some storage soiling, one short tear through the margin, just touching text. Very good.
