Description
Double-sided ‘Luft-Navigationskarte’ (‘Air Navigation Map’), 26.5 x 24 in., printed on weatherproofed canvas and produced by the General Staff of the Luftwaffe, circa 1941. Both sides are titled at the top edge and additionally marked with Luftwaffe eagles. The front presents a 1:2,000,000-scale view of the entirety of Germany, while the verso depicts the English Channel, the southern portion of the British Isles and the northwestern sector of France, at the same scale. Such a map would have been standard equipment for Luftwaffe crews on bombing raids against England, with important industrial targets such as Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield and London all well marked. Moderately toned all over, showing light staining and folds, else very good.
