Krebs, L.J. (editor): This Week on Okinawa, Naha, Okinawa, Ryukyuan Advertising Co., 40 issues published between February 17, 1961 (Vol. 7, No. 2) and December 29, 1961 (Vol. 7, No. 47), 12mo (5 1/4 x 7 1/4 in - 13.3 x 18.2 cm), a weekly magazine, illustrated paper wraps, staple bound. While the number of pages varies, each issue is generally 70-100 pages. An excellent pictorial magazine for the U.S. military community on Okinawa. Probably the only Western language periodical of the time that documented life on Okinawa from the perspective of U.S. Forces personnel. Loaded with nostalgic ads for beers, bars and cars. The weekly issues usually contain the following categories of news and information:
I believe that issue 7:2 (February 17, 1961) marked the first issue of This Week on Okinawa. This magazine continues to be published as of 2005. This was the successor magazine to This Month on Okinawa. The last issue of that magazine was issue 7:1 (January, 1961). |
