[Tehran / Isfahan] World Aeronautical Chart 428 - Mt. Karbush (Iran - Iraq)

USAF 1/1M chart colour printed to the recto 74x56cm, with supporting text, keys, index maps, and correction instructions to the verso. Very good, neatly folded, lightly tanned with some light creasing. First published in March 1948, this 9th Edition dated February 1951 was issued on the brink of nationalisation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, with air information current to November 1951. Coverage is bounded by the Iran-Iraq border (NW), Tehran towards the NE, Isfahan towards the SE, and the Tigris across the Iraqi border (SW). Other major settlements include Kermanshah, Hamadan and Dezful. Altitude is colour shaded. Extensive physical and human geographical features are shown, along with cultural sites. The Iranian State and Trans-Iranian Railways are shown with a hub at Tehran. Some of the stopping points along the former are marked as "abandoned". The latter, completed in 1939, became part of the Persian Corridor used by the Persian Gulf Command and Paiforce to supply the Soviet Union during 1942-45, and is shown here being extended further, with the section after Kashan labelled as "under construction".…
