70 years ago, birthday present for someone born in 1939

Papers past supply genuine, full and complete editions of 1939 newspapers which, when gift packed, make absolutely brilliant birthday presents. It's a real thrill for them to see their birthdate in print at the top of every page and, being from such a historical time, is a snap shot of life from 70 years ago.
Here are just some of the news reports from June '39 -
3rd June 1939 Britain's first military conscripts are enrolled.
7th June 1939 The King and Queen arrive on the first visit of a reigning British monarch to the United States of America.
