Thursday, February 22, 1923. Aircraft carrier milestone.


Life came out with a cover illustration of a female skiier.

The first aircraft landing on a purpose built aircraft carrier, the Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Hōshō,


The aircraft were Mitsubishi IMF's, which were British designed, and the pilot was a British pilot, showing the then ongoing cooperation between the United Kingdom and Imperial Japan, something that predated the Russo Japanese War.  Japan had been, of course, an Allied Power in the Great War.

In the Territory of Alaska, the Seward newspaper warned of Soviet intents.
