Awesome Collection of US & World Maps 1940's WW2 Air

You are bidding on a large collection of maps that are all from the World War II era in the 1940's. My father was a bombadier in World War II, POW and took flying lessons before assuming his duties. These were all his training maps to get around the United States and the World. They are all in very good shape for their age. I will do my best to explain every map in this package.

The first one is a large folding Map of the World on Mercators Projection. This map shows the Americas between the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans, Air Distances, Military Bases, US Possessions, Islands, Time Clocks with an Index. It was printed and published by The George F. Cram Co., Inc before the start of WWII - Indianapolis, Indiana. It sold for .50 Cents.

Next up is a stunning colorful folding map of Europe and the Mediterranean. On the cover it states: Cartographers By Appointment to the Late King George V. This map was printed and published by Edward Stanford, Ltd. 12-14, Long Acre, London, W.C.2. Paper 3/- Net.

The last map in picture #1 is a Daily Telegraph World Map. The first of two maps says War Map No. 10. Germany. Price I/- Net. It was published by Hutchinson & Co. Ltd. London & Melbourne. Printed in Great Britain. The second map is a Daily Telegraph World Map.

Picture 2 includes United States city maps from around the country. They all look similar stating: Sectional Aeronautical Chart, compiled and printed at Washington, D.C. by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Curvey - L.O. Colbert, Director - Fe. 18, 1943. Here are cities included: Albuquerque (R-4); Austin (P-5), Birmingham (Q-7), Dallas (Q-5), Des Moines (U-6), El Paso (P-4), Lincoln (U-5), Little Rock (R-6), Oklahoma City (R-5), Phoenix (Q-3), Roswell (Q-4), San Antonio (O-5) and Twin Cities (W-6). Also in this group are three regional maps that are huge and cover many states. One is the Texarkana area, another is the Midwest including Chicago and the third one is Texas & New Mexico.

Other maps in the 2nd picture are a Hammond's Comprehensive Map of the World on Marcator's Projection. Printed & published by the Garden City Publishing Co., Garden City, NY. This map is torn. Next is a very detailed colorful map of Hamburg, Germany. I can't read German, but are the details on this one: Herausgegeben 1932 vom Reichsamt fur Landesaufnahme, Berlin. Bearbeitet 1931 von der Kartogr Abteilung durch Nawrocki Preis: 3 RM. More items from this include: a drawing of mean pressure and Winds in January & July; Major Land Forms of the Continents; Density of Population; Natural Vegetation in the World; Cartocraft Desk Outline Map of the World #8099.

Finally the picture of photo 3 is a blue booklet titled: MAPS...and how to understand them. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation. This was printed in July, 1943.
