    Description

    Please read entire description, this is not in th best condition but is a very rare escape map, i have never owned one of these before but from a basic google search i found the info below.
    Sometimes refered to as "Escape Maps" this J3 J4 cloth map was what was issued to pilots as they flew missions with the intention that if they were downed they could find their way to safety. This two sided "silk" is actually printed on nylon cloth and features the entirety of Italy with an inset for the nearby Italian-Swiss border on one side and an inset for Sicily on the other. Shows towns roads and railroads and some hydrography .
    It was published in a print run of 5,000 copies on January 7, 1942.
    Map has been hemmed and looks like it has put it thru the wash, it also has a couple of holes in the middle as pictured, It is also stained as shown, please bid accordingly, no returns.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions i answer fast and honestly.
    Thanks in advance
