Item Description
Original Items: Only One Available. This is a nice British-Made Allied forces silk "escape map", from WWII, intended to aid pilots should they be downed in specific areas. This map is of Italy and is in 1:1,500,000 scale. The two sides of the map are continuous, so one picks up where the first leaves off. There are also insets for the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. It measures 20" x 15.75" and is in great condition.
The two sides are marked as sheets J3 and J4 and the map is all in Italian, which is unusual in that it is based on native Italian maps and not a Bartholomew map. The key/legend is also unusual as it is in Italian, German, French, English, Dutch and I think Hungarian and Yugoslavian. Records show that the J3 and J4 series were printed by Britain in 1941-1942.
A very nice escape map from WWII, ready to display!
