Global Atlas Of The World At War-1942 *Full Color* WOW

Published by World Publishing and paid for by Matthews Northrup, this is a World War II Global Atlas for civilian use in order to have something to refer to during nightly radio broadcasts of the war.

It is a fascinating piece: "The battle fronts of World War II have burst into flames in every conceivable portion of the globe, and no one can predict when the next conflagration will break out"

Part propaganda, part geography, the reader is invited to be "his own analyst and cover the battle fronts on dynamic chronological maps. Review the entire background (included) of World War II. Learn to recognize the planes of the Allies and the Axis."

Contains geo-political maps depicting the "struggle for territorial control.'

Charts of world time zones

Major transportation arteries

Insignias of all branches of the Armed forces.

Population and density of major cities in the world.

A true piece of history from an era where there was no "information age", and from a time when no one knew if America would again come under enemy attack after pearl Harbor.

Map runs to about 50 pages. measures approx 18 inches by 12 inches, full color detailed maps, some double page.

CONDITION: Not hard cover. Some age toning to covers, all pages intact and no tearing, just some chipping. There are some creases, some minor staining new staples.

This is a fascinating and informative bit of nostalgia. Would look great in some sort of archival plastic binder!
