Colour-printed map, 845 x 545 mm. An RAF air traffic control chart from the early days of regular civilian flight in the Middle East. Meant entirely for the use of pilots and controllers, air traffic control charts do not show international boundaries or geographical information beyond coastlines, and instead are sectioned into flight information region boundaries, control and advisory zones, civilian flight paths, and various beacons, radio ranges, and other compulsory reporting points. RAF pilots did not always use civilian airspace, and would use a map such as this to avoid wandering into heavily trafficked areas and upsetting carefully arranged and scheduled flight paths.
