By: United States Air ForceDate: 1947 (dated) Washington D.C.Dimensions: 18 x 19 inches (45.75 x 48.25 cm)An impressive collection of 24 Air Force maps rendered in a Stereographic Polar Projection and presenting a wide variety of thematic data in the years following the end of WWII. All of the maps in this collection were published by the Aeronautical Chart Service out of Washington D.C. in January of 1947 with revisions done in November of that same year.Understanding economic, transportation, and climate factors was vital for the United States military in the post-World War II era to support strategic objectives, ensure operational effectiveness, and fulfill humanitarian responsibilities in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.Understanding transportation networks, such as roads, railways, ports, and airfields, was essential for efficiently moving troops, equipment, and supplies to areas of operation. International trade routes, economic dependencies, and geopolitical dynamics were critical to analyze for effectively projecting military power and maintaining strategic alliances. Studying global climate and weather patterns also played a significant role in military planning and operations and minimizing risks to personnel, equipment, and the effectiveness of every mission.This collection is comprised entirely of Advance Sheets that would be republished in 1948 for the Troop Information Program of the U.S. Army.Complete List of Map Titles1) Political & Time Chart, GH-1a2) Physical Relief Chart, GH-2a3) Temperature Provinces and Ocean Currents Chart, GH-3a4) Annual Precipitation Chart, GH-4a5) Climatic Chart, GH-5a6) Vegetation Chart, GH-6a7) Density of Population Chart, GH-7a8) Economic Chart, GH-8a9) Transportation Chart, GH-9a10) Isobars and Prevailing Winds Chart, January, GH-10a11) Isobars and Prevailing Winds Chart, July, GH-11a12) Generalized Diagram of Atmospheric Pressure Zones and World Air Movements Chart, AU 50a13) January Climatic Zones Chart, GH-19a14) February Climatic Zones Chart, GH-20a15) March Climatic Zones Chart, GH-21a16) April Climatic Zones Chart, GH-22a17) May Climatic Zones Chart, GH-23a18) June Climatic Zones Chart, GH-24a19) July Climatic Zones Chart, GH-25a20) August Climatic Zones Chart, GH-26a21) September Climatic Zones Chart, GH-27a22) October Climatic Zones Chart, GH-28a23) November Climatic Zones Chart, GH-29a24) December Climatic Zones Chart, GH-30aCondition: Maps are in A condition issued folding, now flat with bright coloring over clean paper and full margins with no tears or holes.Inventory #127291200 W. 35th Street #425 Chicago, IL 60609 | P: (312) 496 - 3622.
