Description
A rare and colorful series of battle maps, provided by Northwest Airlines in the early to mid-1940's. When fully spread out, this item measures 27" wide by just over 20-1/2" long. Folded, it is about 7" x 10-1/2" in size. Displayed is a map of the world, the Pacific region, the Solomon Islands (as well as the Bismarck Archipelago and Eastern New Guinea), and Alaska. The flip side shows a Hammond's map of the Mediterranean, Europe and North Africa, with markings indicating vital resources, military bases and other strategic concerns. There are even flags representing the warring nations, and had they been cut out, they could have been used to indicate military movements, battle scenes and occupied areas. It has a small tear on the bottom, so when the map is folded out completely it turns into 2 small tears at the bottom of the large map, see the photo's. Light dirt on the covers, normal age related wear. A neat original piece of history.Please check our store to see more old items, feel free to ask any questions before bidding.
