Africa Map 1943

The North African campaign was just drawing to a close when this map was published in February of 1943 to accompany an article entitled "Africa, First of 1943 Global Warfare Maps." A great addition to any World War II map collection, and a compelling companion to the earlier and later National Geographic maps of the "Dark Continent."

• Relief map inset and geographical equivalents
• Inset of the Cape Verde Islands
• Airline distances in statute miles
• Color-coded colonial administration key
• Capitals, cities, and towns
• Railways, automobile routes, caravan routes, canals, and passes
• Oil pipelines

Coverage Area: Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Levant States, Transjordan, Turkey
