LIFE Magazine March 1988 "Bombs on Planes" Issue

This is a vintage copy of LIFE magazine from the March 1988 issue. The cover features a chilling image depicting a bomb device with a clock, wires, and circuit board components, set against a dark background. The main headline reads "BOMBS ON PLANES: A CHILLING EXPOSE OF U.S. AIRPORTS." There is also a smaller text box on the lower right of the cover referencing an explosion and the loss of 259 people on Pam Am Flight 103, linking the cover topic to a specific incident or concern of the time. At the top right, there is an announcement that "TV TURNS 50 - ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION." The LIFE logo is prominently displayed in red and white at the top left. The magazine appears to be in good condition with minimal visible wear on the cover, although the overall condition of the pages within is not discernible from the image. The glossy paper cover shows some slight creasing and surface texture consistent with age and handling. No specific manufacturing marks or signatures are visible, apart from the magazine's masthead and cover content. Based on the publication date displayed on the cover, the magazine is from March 1988.
