Details:

The Hourglass (Kwajalein, Marshall Islands), November 23, 1963. Extraordinary front page issued from the U.S. military installation at Kwajalein Atoll announcing the assassination of President John F. Kennedy beneath the stark banner headline “PRESIDENT KILLED.” Published just hours after news of the assassination reached the Pacific, this uncommon edition provides a detailed account of the events in Dallas, including Kennedy’s shooting, his death at Parkland Hospital, the swearing-in of Lyndon B. Johnson aboard Air Force One, and the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald. The front page also records the immediate response of the military community on Kwajalein, with statements of mourning from local commanders and notices of planned memorial observances, offering a unique perspective from one of America’s most remote strategic outposts.

Very good condition overall with expected light toning, horizontal mailing fold, minor edge wear, and handling consistent with age.
