This is an original, double-sided WWII RAF "silk" escape and evasion map, issued to aircrews operating over the Pacific Theater.
Map Details: Sheet G (44/G): Covers Southern Sumatra and Extreme North West Java. Sheet H (44/H): Covers South West Borneo, Extreme South Sumatra, and East/West Java.
Features: Includes a detailed legend, index to adjacent territories, and color-coded topographical elevations.
Condition Report: This map has been stored for decades and was recently hung to allow the fabric to relax naturally. Presentation: The map now lays much flatter, though light creasing remains from long-term storage. Structural Wear: There is a significant horizontal tear near the "44/G" identifier in the upper corner. Holes: Several small holes and punctures are present within the map body, specifically over the Sumatra and Borneo regions. Edges: The margins show characteristic fraying of the fabric. Markings: Some age-related foxing and light staining are visible on the lighter margins.
Please study the high-resolution photos carefully to assess the condition before bidding. This remains a compelling, genuine piece of RAF history perfect for a representative display.
