Folding map printed in green, black and red. Few minor chips at edges, title written in ink on reverse, but overall very good. A map of Korean War zone produced by the US military (geographic section) and pub;ished in the magazine "Stars and Stripes" in March 1952. The map marks the main cities and uses numbers and inset text to mark the sites of key actions in Korean War. The number 1, for example, is attached to the 38th parallel, and is accompanied by text reading "NK invaders cross 38th parallel, June 25, 1950, at nine separate points". No. 4 marks the Pusan Perimeter on September 14, 1950 "scene of depsperate stand by UN against NK forces - Gen. Walker orders 'stand or die'". No. 23 marks "POW camps in North Korea" and no. 25 - "UN POW camp at Koje-Do Island". A facinating visual representation of the war from the US point of view. Seller Inventory # 177939
