Beschreibung

Large (38"x26") two sided map produced during WWII for the US Navy. Stated "Printed December 14th, 1943", this is a chart of the North Atlantic for the month of January showing typical storm patterns, currents and ice flows. Also has an inset of the Mediterranean Sea. Reverse side has a complex and attractive illustration of "Monthly Moonlight Diagrams" for Feb. 1944 with each box and row showing details for different lattitudes. Chart includes the whole of the Atlantic Ocean, from the northern coast of South America all the way up past Newfoundland and shows prior January storm tracks with red lines and each one listed with Roman numerals. Also information for "Broadcast Signals for 500 KC.Time Signal Service" including locations and codes. Amazingly no markings or tears and very little if any soiling. Really fantastic piece of history and a beautiful map. Moon side is equally interesting and attractive.
